A record number of shoppers—online and in person—are expected over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, officially marking the start of the 2024 Christmas shopping season.
The National Retail Federation (NRF), the world’s largest retail trade association, projects that 183.4 million shoppers will visit stores and log on to websites from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday this year.
This estimate is up from the previous record of 182 million in 2023.
Kiarra is one of the many people visiting the Arundel Mills shopping center in Hanover, Md., to take advantage of the discounts, telling The Epoch Times that this is an annual tradition for her.
“I’m trying to get an early start on Christmas shopping while they have the deals,” said Kiarra, who did not reveal her last name. “This is the first year I got smart enough to bring my cart, so I don’t have to carry all the bags, and I can get as much stuff as I like.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
