In 2022, according to Wallethub, 130.2 million Americans shopped from home on Black Friday, while 122.7 million people shopped in person.

Meanwhile, according to WalletHub’s holiday shopping survey, 28 percent of American consumers plan to spend less during this year’s holiday season compared to 2022.

The survey also revealed more than one in three Americans are foregoing gifts this year due to inflation, as nearly one in four Americans still have holiday debt from last year.

In addition, nearly one in five people will apply for a new credit card to help with holiday shopping this season.
