Black Friday shoppers have collapsed on their couches and finally gotten a chance to digest that turkey after a hectic day of deal-hunting, but it all starts again Monday on the Internet.
"Online shopping has been very, very strong," said Chris Christopher, a retail analyst with IHS Global Insight. "Right now, a little over $1 of every $20 spent is spent online."
Online shopping is the only retail sector growing at a double- digit pace, with online sales expected to generate $78 billion this holiday season, a 15 percent increase over last year.
Still, Christopher said, Cyber Monday may have lost some of its exclusivity this year because online retailers such as Amazon have been offering deals to compete with brick-and-mortar stores opening on Thanksgiving.
"A lot of them had to up their game because they didn't have the luxury of people staying at home," he said.
Jon Hurst, president of the Retailers Association of Massachusetts, said online retailers can take a chunk out of local sales, but the Internet also opens up possibilities for small stores.
"There's a lot of smaller companies that are finding it as a growth opportunity," he said.
Jasmine Raines, a 24-year-old Dorchester resident, hit Legacy Place in Dedham on Black Friday, planned on shopping again today, and then finish off her spree with some online shopping. "Then I'll wait for Cyber Monday," she said.
