If you see any news outlets saying that black friday shopping reached an all time high this year, they are lying to you!

Black Friday shopping, as in volume of items purchased and number of transactions recorded, was lower than previous years. How much lower depends on how you measure it and who you trust but between 2% and 5% lower seems to be the consensus.
