Black Friday Shoppers Warned to Be Wary of Deals


 As Black Friday approaches, experts are urging shoppers to be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true. With the shopping frenzy in full swing, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and make impulsive purchases.

Consumer Reports advises shoppers to do their homework and compare prices across multiple retailers before making a purchase. Many deals advertised as "doorbusters" may not be as great as they appear, and some prices may have been inflated before being discounted.

Shoppers are also encouraged to set a budget and stick to it, focusing on necessary items rather than succumbing to impulse buys. Using price-tracking apps and tools like PayPal Honey can help identify genuine deals and avoid being misled by marketing tactics.

As Black Friday sales kick off, staying informed and vigilant can help shoppers make the most of their money and avoid buyer's remorse.
