Black Friday starting earlier than ever

Ore. — Will you be out shopping on Black Friday

Best Buy will open at 5 p.m. Thanksgiving day, along with Toys-R-Us and J.C. Penney.

Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s and Sears open at 6, two hours sooner than last year, it’s the kickoff to what the National Retail Federation predicts will be the strongest holiday sales in three years, yet most of the Rogue Valley consumers we spoke with say their holiday shopping can wait.

Josh Reynolds, I think Thanksgiving should be for families and giving thanks for what you have not looking for new things.

Kellee Roebuck, I know I would just end up spending money on something just because it’s on sale when I really didnt need it.

Meanwhile, stores are banking on those who say when it comes to Christmas shopping the earlier the better; National Retail Federation is forecasting consumers will spend a whopping $617 billion dollars this holiday season, 4.1% more than last year.
