THAT SHOULD MAKE IT GO FASTER
FOR YOU.
WE HAVE INFORMATION ON WCCO.COM.
AND GET A JUMP START ON
HOLIDAY SHOPPING THIS WEEK.
.
AMAZON, TARGET, WALMART, BEST
BUY ALL OFFERING BIG DEALS OVER
THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
AMAZON'S PRIME DAY.
THIS WAS DELAYED THIS YEAR
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
AMAZON CREATED A WATCH LIST DEAL
BUTTON, WHICH ENABLES CUSTOMERS
TO SET AN ALERT TO BE NOTIFIED
WHEN PRODUCTS GO ON SALE.
THEY HAVE DEALS ON AMAZON
DEVICES LIKE RING DOORBELLS.
AIR PODS FOR $115.
A 32-INCH TV FOR $120.
SOUNDS GOOD.
THEN EVERYBODY HAD TO
RESPOND.
TARGET, BEST BUY, WALMART.
THEY HAVE THEIR DISCOUNT EVENTS.
TARGET DEAL DAYS TODAY AND
TOMORROW.
EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO SPREAD
OUT THE HOLIDAY SALE SEASON.
YOU GOT 40% OFF FURNITURE
AND TOYS.
DON'T YOU THINK EVERYTHING IS
GOING TO BE THE SAME PRICE
EVERYWHERE NOW?
.
YES.
THE PEOPLE AT TARGET HAVE
AMAZON.
THEY HAVE THAT ON THE COMPUTERS.
BUT YOU GET DEALS ON VIDEO
GAMES, B.O.G.O.
BOOTS.
YOU DON'T NEED A MEMBERSHIP AT
TARGET.
WALMART, SAME BET.
THE BIG SAVE.
BLACK FRIDAY-LIKE DISCOUNTS
THROUGH THURSDAY.
FREE SHIPPING IF YOU SPEND MORE
THAN $35.
ALL OF THAT KIND OF GOING ON.
AND IT MAKES SENSE.
YOU WANT TO SPREAD IT OUT OVER
TIME.
SO MANY MORE PEOPLE SHOPPING
ONLINE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
DO YOU THINK ANYONE IS REALLY
DOING CHRISTMAS SHOPPING RIGHT
NOW, OR SHOPPING FOR THEMSELVES?
.
DON'T YOU THINK A LOT OF THE
EARLY SHOPPING IS SHOPPING FOR
YOURSELVES EVERY YEAR?
.
PROBABLY.
I CAN'T IMAGINE MAKING A
CHRISTMAS LIST RIGHT NOW.
NO.
MY MOTHER, I GOT AN E-MAIL THIS
MORNING ASKING FOR LISTS, ASKING
FOR IDEAS FOR THE KIDS.
IT STRESSED ME OUT.
TELL HER NO.
NO, IT'S OCTOBER.
I DON'T KNOW.
I FEEL LIKE, THOUGH, A LOT OF
PEOPLE -- NOT A LOT, BUT TYPICAL
AROUND THIS TIME, THE QUESTION
COMES UP.
IT DOES NOT.
.
YES, IT DOES.
IF YOU ARE MELISSA BROWN, IT
DOES.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
YOU DO NOT -- NO ONE NORMALLY ON
OCTOBER 13th IS ASKING FOR A
LIST.
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW, JASON --.
I'VE BEEN ASKED FROM FAMILY
MEMBERS.
ESPECIALLY MY GRANDMOTHER.
EVEN YEARS AGO.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M WRONG.
WELL, YOU'RE HALF RIGHT.
I'M MOSTLY RIGHT.
THE GLASS IS HALF FULL WITH
HIM.
SO WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?
.
THIS YEAR IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT.
.
I AGREE.
I TYPICALLY START MY SHOPPING
EARLIER.
BUT THIS YEAR, I HAVEN'T.
LIKE NOVEMBER, RIGHT?
NO, I HAVE DONE IT IN OCTOBER
IN THE PAST.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE THE
HOLIDAYS.
WHY NOT?
I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS.
YOU SHOULD START SHOPPING.
GETTING A LIST AND CHECKING IT
TWICE.
I AM NOT DOING IT.
ALL RIGHT.
MOVING ON.
AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ARE YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
ONLINE SHOPPING DAYS?
WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK.
GO AHEAD.
I'M WAITING FOR A SNICKERS BAR
FROM YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WE ASKED WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
CHRISTINA, I HAVE COME TO PREFER
THE CONVENIENCE OF ONLINE
SHOPPING.
CHRISTMAS LISTS HAPPENING
ALREADY.
MY MOTHER ASKED FOR LISTS SINCE
SEPTEMBER.
YOUR MOTHER NEEDS TO CALM
DOWN, CHRISTINA.
NO, HER MOTHER HAS LESS
STRESS COME DECEMBER.
I LOVE IT.
.
I'M SURE.
IF SHE'S LIKE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW,
SHE ASKS FOR THE LIST IN
SEPTEMBER AND ASKS FOR IT AGAIN
DECEMBER 15th.
YEAH.
CHRIS SAYS I WILL SHOP WHICHEVER
WAY BEST SUITS MY NEEDS AND
WANTS CLOSER TO THE HOLIDAYS.
I WILL GO TO THE STORES.
I LIKE THE ENERGY.
AND YOU HAVE TO ASK, IS THAT
GOING TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR?
INTERESTING.
FOR SURE.
DAN SAYS I WANT TO TRY TO DO IT
IN STORE.
I GOT TO GET THE LISTS OUT NOW.
SO MANY EARLY LISTERS ON THIS
FEEDBACK HERE.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO
GET INTO IT, BUT I'M NOT A BIG
FAN OF LISTS.
I DON'T LIKE THAT.
