Early holiday sales may offer a chance to buy planned items for less, but the available figures do not show that they will make holiday shopping affordable for people on smaller budgets. CNET’s 2026 indexed listing says nearly one in three U.S. adults plan to shop early, while close to 40% expect to wait until November or December. The listing does not provide a price comparison or evidence that shopping early saves money.
What CNET’s figures say—and what they don’t
CNET’s indexed 2026 listing reports that nearly one in three U.S. adults plan to shop early holiday sales, and close to 40% plan to wait until November or December to start. These are headline-level claims; the underlying survey details, including sample, field dates and exact questions, are not available in the accessible listing. CNET listings indexed by Readfeeds
A related CNET listing describes tighter holiday shopping budgets amid rising technology costs and states an average holiday budget of $808. The underlying population and calculation are not exposed, so that figure should be treated only as the average CNET reported—not as a recommended budget or an estimate that applies to every household. News Reel’s listing reproducing the CNET headline and teaser
Neither listing establishes whether early offers are better than later prices, how much shoppers save, or whether people’s planned purchases fit their budgets. The share planning to shop early is not evidence that early shopping solves affordability problems.

When an early deal can help a smaller budget
An offer can help if it lowers the total cost of something you already intended to buy and the purchase fits your spending limit. A marked-down price alone is not enough: shipping, taxes, delivery terms and returns can change the real cost or make a purchase less useful.
- Check the final cost. Compare the price after shipping and tax, not just the advertised discount.
- Stick to the list. Treat a deal as a saving only when it is for an item you had already planned to buy.
- Check delivery and returns. Confirm arrival timing and the return window before paying, especially for gifts that may need to be exchanged.
- Protect the budget. Set a total spending limit first. If the purchase pushes you past it, a lower price does not make it affordable.
How to decide whether to buy early or wait
There is no price-timing conclusion in the reported figures: they do not compare early-sale prices with November or December prices. Use the same checks for either timing, and buy early only when the item, total cost and terms work for you.

The reported $808 average is not a substitute for a personal spending plan. CNET’s accessible listing does not explain how that average was calculated or which households it represents.
