Business Insider reports just 28% of those surveyed said they will shop the same as they did last year. With a nod to cognitive dissonance, the survey also revealed that more than 1 out of 2 Americans, or 52%, remain excited about shopping the day after Thanksgiving. But as the pandemic endlessly grinds on, 49% of consumers surveyed said they intend to conduct their shopping online.
