Ready, Set, Shop for Holiday Deals

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Online retailers are preparing for the holiday shopping season even earlier this year.

Beginning Saturday, Amazon will unveil many of its holiday deals. Office Depot and Sears will follow by rolling out Black Friday-like deals in the coming weeks.

Walmart, meanwhile, is testing a program to match prices offered by online retailers such as Amazon, according the Wall Street Journal.

The move would keep Walmart competitive this holiday season, but could also affect its fourth-quarter earnings.
