One-third of items for sale on Black Friday will provide no savings to consumers, WalletHub found in an analysis of thousands of items sold at retailers, including Amazon.com (AMZN), Costco (COST), and others. However, as thrilled that retailers can be, shoppers are more ecstatic as this day approaches.
Black Friday is the first day of the year when retailers first see their profit.
Intuitively, that makes sense: The better the deal, the more likely people are likely to snap up toys, tablets and whatever else.

In 2014, the outdoor shopping hub officially opened at midnight on Black Friday, although some of the mall’s larger tenants opened on Thanksgiving evening.
Amazon has lined up a slew of discounts on its own products as well as products from other manufacturers. The irony is that transaction values are actually up overall, according to data from RetailNext cited by eMarketer-and sales will probably be up this holiday season, too. You can browse a range of categories and search for items using the search box.
