A record number of shoppers are expected to hit stores this week — about 166.3 million people are planning to shop Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday — says a report from the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics.
While Black Friday marks the annual tradition of some shoppers waking up early for in-person sales, many retailers have extended their deals throughout the week leading up to Friday. And despite consumers dealing with record levels of inflation this year — it recently slowed but is still up 8.2 percent in a year — retail experts are expecting a healthy flow of shoppers spending money this season.
