Consumer Watchdogs Warn: Black Friday Deals May Be Misleading

Consumer watchdogs warn that Black Friday deals may not be as beneficial as they seem, with many retailers using misleading pricing tactics. Shoppers are advised to track prices well before the holiday season to identify genuine discounts. Special Black Friday products may have inferior components, and "limited edition" items are often just repackaged. Waiting until after Christmas may yield better bargains as retailers clear out old stock. Consumers should avoid buying unnecessary items just because they are discounted.
