Look at how the major chain stores have changed this year's "Black Friday" holiday shopping schedule!
We all know the insanity that is called Black Friday, and we've heard that some stores are kicking off the insanity on Thursday night. Is that too early?
Yes, according to 31% of us.
CouponCabin did a survey and found out that Black Friday really stresses people out.
What freaks us out the most? -- 34% said "the thought of all those people in one store is scary"
What else?
The item I want might be out of stock before I can purchase it – 28 percent
The competition among other shoppers for deals – 26 percent
There are so many deals it's overwhelming – 16 percent
21% of those who plan to shop in stores or online on Black Friday plan to spend more this year than they did last year. 52% plan to spend the same amount, while 18% plan to spend less.
Here is a portion of the big box chain store shopping chedule for XMAS 2012. With this many different start times, maybe the rush won't be so bad this year?
