For the 2025 holiday season, the three retail giants are only making some minor changes. It’s important to know the specific policy for whatever item you are buying.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon led the retail giant's transformation into an online retailer that could rival the likes of Amazon.

Doug McMillon, who will exit in January, has steered the retail giant to new heights through a pandemic, high inflation and political upheaval.

"Amazon prices have risen 12.8% this year on average as of the end of September, according to an analysis of online pricing data from third-party research firm DataWeave. Prices at Target were up 5.5% since the start of the year, and prices at Walmart were 5.3% higher, according to the analysis," CNBC reported.

The supplement was sold online through third party platforms including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy, and eBay.

Walmart announced Friday that its longtime CEO Doug McMillon will retire at the end of January — which came as a surprise to some given the company's success in a rapidly evolving retail landscape.

Walmart’s run as America’s largest retailer appeared to be in jeopardy when Doug McMillon became Walmart’s chief executive 11 years ago.

Black Friday may still be a couple of weeks away, but Canada’s biggest retailers have already kicked off some of the best deals of the year. Major stores like Best Buy, Amazon, Simons and more have already launched their sales early, with thousands of markdowns on tech, home essentials, fashion, beauty and more.
