Out of Business
November 17th 2008 03:37
I have noticed more and more businesses are closing shop in this bad economy. Bad for them and I feel sorry for the employees, but hey I am taking advantage of those great sales. Circuit City is closing a number of stores in my area and just got a great deal on a new TV and a few other electronics. These are things I hadn’t planned to buy and probably wouldn’t in this economy, but given the deal I got I couldn’t resist.
I know this is terrible but in this economy, I have been spending more money on energy and food. This means I have had less to spend during the year on extra or luxury items. So at this point, I really need to watch for the extremely great deals.
Even Christmas is a challenge this year. The retailers are definitely feeling the fact that consumers have had less to spend. I know that I’m not helping matters, but this year, I’m waiting until the end to try and get the best deal I can on the presents I buy. I won’t be out the day after Thanksgiving but will actually wait until the week before Christmas. If I can’t get what I want at the price I am willing to pay, I may just get gift cards. That way at least the people I am buying for can get a good deal during the after Christmas sales when the retailers are desperately trying to make up for their losses during the Holiday Season.
You know I am well aware of the fact that we should try to spend, but I haven’t felt much like shopping while my stock portfolio goes in the garbage. Oh well, on the positive side, hopefully we will see growth next year!
