Almost Time for Holiday Shopping
The best time to do your holiday shopping is 5 days before Thanksgiving.
*gasp*
I know. We HATE anything to do with xmas BEFORE xmas.
Tbh.
According to Adobe's annual online holiday shopping predictions report, to get the best options and have the widest selection, you should start picking out your presents before T-Day to cash in on those discounts. But, plan on hitting up the mall a little under a week in advance before all the things you've been dying to get are back-ordered.
I know what you're thinking: "See, the way my bank account is set up... I'm gonna wait until Thanksgiving to do any shopping since that's the day there are the biggest discounts."
My response? Get your life! Discounted prices are irrelevant if you can't actually get the items you want. The report also says that the chances of the goods you want being out of stock increase by 83% on T-Day (online and IRL). 83 percent! Sorry, Boo. But it's true.
So make your list. Check it twice. And plan on hitting up your favorite stores 5 days before Turkey Day.
