8 Stores That Are Not Offering Black Friday Deals This Year

Inflation and tighter budgets are a huge concern for about 36% of shoppers this year.  The guess is that about 56.1% of all of the Black Friday sales will be happening on mobile devices as well.  The total for online sales during this specific Friday is expected to hit about $11.7 billion.

Some families have a tradition of getting up early to grab all of the best Black Friday Deals.  They pack their cars, go out to eat, grab coffee, and make a whole day of this adventure.  Because of these traditions and some "in-store only" sales, I predict that we will still see long lines and huge crowds on Black Friday.

While most stores do participate in this fun day of discounts, there are a few throughout the United States that have a different philosophy.
