The closer we get to Black Friday, the more tips come out on how and when to strike with this infographic detailing the best holiday shopping days.
The rush on Black Friday can sometimes reach unbearable levels, which is why it is important to know there are other options. According to this infographic from Savings.com, the average shopper spent $700 on Christmas gifts in 2011. Hopefully this infographic of best holiday shopping days can help you bring that number down.
For toy shopping, November 19-21 and November 26-December 7 are your best shopping days. For electronics, you’ll want to stick to shopping on November 22-25 and December 14-17. For books and cosmetics, wait until after Christmas and head out December 25-31.
