Everyday Economy

Another country heard from…

OK, we’re back on Black Friday here…

We saw a post at MainStreet (via the blog Wallet Pop) titled, “The Money-Sapping Secrets of Black Friday Sales.” As you might have guessed, it comes from the anti- side of the aisle.

The story says you can find the same deals online or at other times during the season, and that Black Friday is a good way to get yourself into debt, drawn in by good deals only to find yourself overspending. The story also says that Black Friday “pros” -- people who watch the ads for weeks, plan meticulously and get up earlier than you – already have you beat at the game.



Everyday Economy is a blog and weekly page in the newspaper dedicated to the way people are living their financial lives. Shawn Vestal, a longtime Spokesman-Review writer and editor, is overseeing the project.
