Welcome Back!
This week I'll be discussing the infamous Black Friday. I unfortunately I was unable to be a shopper because I had to work Black Friday, but I was curious to see how much us Americans spend on Black Friday on average. Based on the article I found the 2016 statistics aren't out just yet, but from 2014 the average person spent $308. (PER PERSON!) That is an abundance of money spent on one person alone. Also in 2014 the total amount of money spent was around $50.9 million. In 2015 the average person spent $299, which is better than 2014 but still a lot. The 2015 stats aren't out for the total spent, but nevertheless us Americans love to shop! Anyways I found this article to educate me about sales and to feed my curiosity. It's a quick read but interesting, 10/10 recommend.

This week I found a recent article in the spirit of Thanksgiving. It's kind of like last weeks post with a spin. The article is called "Here's What the Average American Spends on Thanksgiving Dinner," which basically talks about we tend to spend more money on food for the holidays then we need. This article further goes into saying to stop overpaying for food then transitions to better ways we could utilize our money, then ended on a note about annual income. It is a fairly short read about a page or so, but it was a good choice to educate me about money we spend on the holidays. I'm also really into the holidays if you can't already tell.

This week I'll be discussing something the every one is excited for, which is Thanksgiving! I found an article about the average amount a person consumes on turkey day. In the article "How Many Calories Do We Really Eat at Thanksgiving," Tara Parker-Pope paints a statistically picture of on the average amount people tend to eat on Thanksgiving. Based on information provided by the article, it says that the average American can consume up to 4,500 calories or more! Wow. That is a lot of calories, but if you look at it from the perspective that most people only do this a couple of times in the year then it's alright. This article is fairly small and a quick read, but nevertheless it does provided with the information I was looking for. I was always curious about how much people eat on the holidays, because I know for me I eat a lot too. So I believe this article educated me about the calorie intake of an average American at Thanksgiving. I think I'm just also excited for Thanksgiving!
