As you brace 1 yourself for holiday shopping, know this, black Friday is apparently 2 now a week-long event. In fact, it's already started. So how can play this to your advantage. ABC's Rebecca Jarvis has much more now.
If Black Friday is the superball of shopping, consider this: the tailgate party, complete with the week-long free-game show.
“It's game time. It is game time.”
Walmart kicking things off with deals like this Lepad 2, original price $79, now $39.99. And select
PS4 Xbox 1 video games, including Call of Duty, Ghost and Battlefield 4, which worth $59.96, new price 49 bucks 3.
“You want to shop early for great Black Friday gifts. You are gonna be able to do it all week.”
Amazon rolling out deals online every ten minutes, starting this Sunday. This 58-inch flatscreen $229, laptop as low as $239.99.
Target, KMart and Sears also getting in on the act. Sears beat the rush ahead already underway with major discounts on appliances like this camel stainless 4 dishwasher now 350 bucks down from 700.
Every store hoping to lure 5 you in this weekend, in case you'd rather skip out on the turkey time chaos 6. This year, about 13% of us plan to shop the real Black Friday, that's down from 20% four years ago.
And the CEO of Best Buy sum it up like this for us. He says
basically this year, this week, every day is like Black Friday. So you don't have to camp out overnight in front of a store to get the best deal.
