I like to be efficient. There are not nearly enough hours in a day for me to get done what I need to get done. That said, I found this article from Consumer Reports, fascinating as we approach Black Friday. Here’s how it says Americans will be spending their time shopping.
• Consumers will spend lots of time gift-shopping, 15 hours on average. Women plan to spend twice as long as their male counterparts, 20 hours versus 10 hours respectively.
• Shoppers expect to wait in store check out lines for about three-and-a-half hours on average; one in four expect to stand in line 4 hours or more.
• Once they get home, Americans plan to spend about 3 hours on average wrapping gifts; one in four expect to spend 4 or more hours doing so.
• Americans anticipate that they will devote about an hour on average to returning holiday gifts; over half say they won’t spend any time making returns.
Do you really want to go through all the effort now?
