Quick Glance: Walmart and Target start their holidays early to alleviate the effects of inflation.
  • Experts believe that a significant spike in costs will cause Americans to shop early in order to avoid prices that they anticipate will climb even further.

  • Walmart and Target intend to start giving specials and price matching offers earlier this year in order to keep up with Americans who are feeling squeezed by growing inflation and looking for methods to alleviate the sting of holiday shopping.

  • The Christmas sales plans, published on Thursday, come as holiday sales growth is predicted to be slower than a year ago.

  • Target expects to hire up to 100,000 seasonal workers in stores and distribution sites this holiday season, the same as last year.
