Millennial Money: Black Friday shopping could look different this year, experts say

The day after Thanksgiving’s deal-centric shopping event, Black Friday, is on Nov. 24 this year. As the date inches closer, retail, marketing and supply chain experts share their thoughts on what to expect from Black Friday sales. Economic indicators point to a slowdown in spending, and retailers and shoppers may scale back. Stores could feature smaller markdowns on prices, but deals are still expected to be plentiful. Experts also say an autoworker strike and a potential federal government shutdown could disrupt deliveries, and shoppers will have more options when they need to return purchases.
