Don't you just wish that you had a little more time to do your holiday shopping, Massachusetts residents? I know I do. It seems like every year it's always last-minute. No matter how hard I try to hold to my commitment of, "I'm not doing this next year!"

Well, it appears that at least one major retailer is going to to give you a little more time to holiday shop...and not just on Black Friday but for the rest of the holiday season! How sweet is that?

According to a press release issued this past Tuesday, Target stores nationwide will be opening at 6 a.m. on Black Friday, November 29th. Which is great news for those who want to get first crack at those big HOLIDAY DEALS!

Not only that, but you can still shop those Black Friday deals through November 30th both online and in stores. Oh, and didn't I mention that you now have more time to holiday shop?

Check this out: Target will also be open longer for the rest of the holiday season. Most Target stores nationwide will be open from 7 a.m. until midnight. However, your store's hours may vary. Be sure to check our local Lanesborough Target for specific hours.

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.
