Major national retail chains are releasing heavier than usual volumes of Christmas ads this year and many carry misleading specials designed to draw business into their stores and then to switch them to higher priced merchandise. The ads will carry a “Holiday Blowout” price for popular items, as well as the small, small print that says, “Limit – Three Per Store.” The retailers apparently hope to lure customers into their stores with the “bait” and then to sell them the advertised items at higher prices, or to “switch” them to other brands or similar items.
COMMENTS:
Why any American is shopping for any thing this Christmas Season, I don’t understand. Unemployment continues to rise, Congress is poised to pile on unprecedented spending and taxes, the “stimulus” is not working and a major French Bank is predicting we may have a global collapse of the economy. Nevertheless, if you are going to shop this year, I recommend rewarding a small local store with your business. The “big box” boys have obviously not learned that business goes where it is well respected and well treated.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

THE OBAMA TRIALS - DAY 10:

Isn't that sweet?
