Black Friday shopping 2015 is heading your way so better have a list of what stores you need to check out and what's on sale.
Last year's Thanksgiving Day saw around one-third of holiday shoppers on the lookout for great deals hit the stores that offered Black Friday deals, as per the National Retail Federation.
However, in recent years it's not only during Black Friday that people goes shopping. Only 65 percent actually prefers waiting for that day. Most retail stores give out deals as early as Monday until Cyber Monday after Thanksgiving. The NRF projects 135.8 million holiday shoppers will hit stores over the four-day weekend sale, as per CBS Chicago.
Most stores will start giving out deals late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving or early evening usually 6 p.m. This will allow shoppers to spend more time with their families and savor a feast before hitting the stores and rush to the aisles to get what's on their Christmas lists.
