128 million Shoppers to hit Stores Black Friday Weekend

Nov 25 2008, 10:16am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

You are not alone when you go shopping on Black Friday and the following weekend. To comfort you a survey predicts 5% less people compared to 2007 (135 million shoppers), but there will be still 128 million shoppers hunting for deals nation-wide.
According to the BIGresearch study for the National Retail Federation (NRF) 49 million of you already know that you go shopping this weekend. 79 million are still on the fence and want to see a good deal first before rubbing elbows in the cold.I predict that more people will hunt for great deals online this weekend than last year. There are few deals I have seen so far that you would not find online as well this Black Friday sales weekend. And if you did not find in it on Black Friday there is still Cyber Monday.
Via this Reuters story. Find the best Black Friday Deals.
