Consolidated Credit Warns Shoppers to Avoid Piling Up “Black Friday” Credit Card Debt.
Howard Dvorkin, founder of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, offers holiday shopping tips to consumers taking advantage of “Black Friday” sales.
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) November 26, 2008 -- There's a silver lining to these tough economic times: retailers are hurting as much, if not more, than shoppers. "Black Friday" the start of the traditional holiday buying season has already started, along with extended hours at many stores. Sales and discounts are deep and wide-ranging.
The retailers are desperately trying to save the traditional holiday spending boon that happens this time of year. "Black Friday" is expected to kick off one of the weakest holiday shopping seasons since 2001. Market conditions may trigger more store closures, bankruptcies and an overall "retail shakeout," according to analysts, but shoppers may be lured into stores because of the price slashing, door-buster sales and over-all great deals.
