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.
