The big question will be whether this is true purchases that up the totals or just time-shifted sales that are experienced now at the expense of those in December.
As a chubby woman in a blue shirt demonstrated, the fact that your pants are falling down and you're showing more crack than a plumbers' convention won't stop you from pouncing on Wal-Mart's $2 waffle irons* like a starving hyena pouncing on a crippled impala.
Sites have generally reported that a lot of people were looking, rather than buying, so this may be illusory - like the first turnout estimates in an election.

Yes, but was she full-flavored?
PS If you've seen People of WalMart, you know she was one of the more conservatively dressed ones.
My daughter and I did our part. We went to the midnight opening of the mall in Knoxville where we were visiting family and got home at 4:00 AM. Probably saved 50% overall. Being a southern town, everyone was friendly and hospitable. No pepper spray events, no pushing and shoving.

It's not scientific, but I think Black Friday hype is up at least 10% from last year, so a 6.6% sales increase is disappointing.

hey Ironrails, I made waffles on Thanksgiving morning. Very tasty!
Did not go even near a stroe on Friday or today.

Or everyone is maxing out their credit before declaring bankruptcy next year. One last hurrah as it were.
I would rather prefer Ebay.
