Thanksgiving

Sixty-six percent of America's consumers will be out shopping on Black Friday next week. So where are the best places to get the best discounts?  According to WalletHub, the leading personal finance social network, J.C. Penney provides the best discounts.

Whatever happened to Black Friday (the biggest shopping day of the year) being on Friday only?  Now Black Friday begins on Thanksgiving Day at some stores and even on Thanksgiving eve...Wednesday. Well, some store have said enough is enough.
