The big shopping day just after Thanksgiving is only a few days away and retailers will be passing out their advertising circulars to let you know of all their great Black Friday deals. But are their deal so great and will you be the lucky one to take advantage of it? Here are some things to look out for:
1. Look at the fine print that appears at the bottom of the circulars.
2. Watch terms like "While supplies last," "Minimum 2 per store," "No rainchecks" or "All items are available in limited quantities."
3. Take a second look at those circulars as some will say tings like "Minimum of 5 per store" on models of large screen plasma and HDTVs or popular brands of home appliances like washer and dryers.
Many retailers won't be tricking or cheating consumers this year, but be sure to check your deal list twice for that fine print so you aren't disappointed when you get to the store. Some of these tricks are enough to cause shopping rage, but maybe you can play the biggest dirty trick of them all and just not shop at the stores that play these games.
