More than 151 million people said they shopped either in stores and/or online over the weekend, according to NRF's survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics. Nearly 102 million people say they shopped in stores over the Thanksgiving weekend, and more than 103 million say they shopped online. Those under 35 were most likely to shop over the weekend.
CNET reported that so-called Cyber Monday "reached $3 billion in sales, up 12 percent from last year... making it the largest online sales day in the US ever."
