The countdown to Christmas is on with just 50 days to go.

Many people are already planning their holiday shopping or have actually started checking off their gift list.

According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are planning to spend around $890 per person to buy holiday gifts, food, decor, and more this year.

The largest piece of the holiday spending pie is gifts with more than $600 expected to go toward presents.

With the government shutdown, inflation, and tariffs weighing on so many, consumers are desperate for deals and where you can find them.

“Consumers are embracing discount stores as a part of their shopping list this year. They are prioritizing big box retailers and dollar stores while having less interest in outlet stores and e-commerce sites,” says Mary Hines Droesch, Head of Consumer and Small Business Products and Analytics for Bank of America.

To help, some retailers are now offering early deals.

Starting November 6 through November 9, Target has up to 40% off select holiday decor and lights and 50% off select toys.

And Wayfair is boasting up to 70% off cookware, Christmas trees, furniture, and more.
