We’ll update this section once we know more. This year, consumers were expected to complete more holiday shopping (29 percent) before the start of Black Friday week than during (26 percent), according to consulting firm PwC’s holiday shopping outlook. In general Amazon turned out to become a hard place to find great deals on Apple products.
Black Friday is also risky. This could end up saving you those precious seconds that will help you snag the deal before inventory sells out.
“Black Friday might not even make it into the top three shopping days”, said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners. So if you don’t like shopping or large groups of people, I would advise you to sit this one out.
USA Today points out other retailers are looking to extend their bank accounts and Black Friday deals past a single day in November.
Kathy Allen, spokesperson for the National Retail Federation, said Black Friday sales were down more than 10 percent a year ago. This isn’t going to be the ultimate in Black Friday guides, because well, there are dedicated Black Friday websites that do that better than we could ever think of doing.
To avoid the crowds, you can also do your Black Friday shopping online.
While the lure of doorbuster savings is a big part of the Black Friday appeal, retailers don’t always deliver. You can browse through the stores ads for Black Friday as well as browse deals that aren’t sorted by store. Target recently expanded its policy, and both Best Buy and Walmart will price-match to varying degrees.

You can still get a few of the same awesome deals without waiting in line.
