Bouncing Back From Black Friday

Were you among the nearly 200 million Americans who participated in Black Friday shopping yesterday?

Data indicates that Americans save an average of 24% with Black Friday deals. Last year, online shoppers spent more than $9.1 billion during the Thanksgiving weekend. This year's figures are expected to surpass that, with stores like Macy's and JCPenney offering up to 60% off, while fan favorites Amazon, Target, and Walmart average around 30% off in discounts.

What constitutes a good Black Friday deal for you? Most Americans say they look for at least a 30% discount!
