LOVE IT OR HATE IT. HOLIDAY SHOPPING IS ABOUT TO KICK INTO HIGH GEAR.

NO MATTER *HOW* YOU DO YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING. FOR MANY, IT CAN BE A SOURCE OF EXHILARATION *AND* ANXIETY.

"There's great deals so if I know that I need something, I wait until black friday. So I get a lot of stuff on black friday crazy cheap."

BUT FOR SOME, THOSE BLACK FRIDAY BARGAINS -- MAY BE A *BAD DEAL* WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BUDGET.

SHOPPING PSYCHOLOGY-SOTVO

"Black Friday is for women what hunting is for men and sometimes the chase is as important as the target and after it's over, swapping stories about the finds that you make is also an enjoyable experience."

RESEARCH FINDS WE'RE DRAWN TO SALES BECAUSE THEY MAKE US FEEL LIKE SAVVY SHOPPERS. SINCE WE TEND TO FOCUS ON HOW MUCH WE *SAVED* INSTEAD OF HOW MUCH WE SPENT.
