POLL QUESTION: Recession and your Christmas shopping

Not only are we counting down to the critical November midterm elections, but we now have less than 90 days to go until Christmas!

Less than 3 months to go until Christmas is a really good thing, except it may not be good for many retailers, due to the Biden-flation, and lack of spending power for the majority of Americans.

"There's such a limited piece of the pie, per consumer" said Trae Bodge, smart shopping expert at truetrae.com, "We're going to have the start of deals a lot earlier, and then 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber Monday' again, and then we'll see a lot of excitement as retailers look to leave the holiday season with a bang, so it's going to be very interesting."

Because the country is basically broke, and budgets are tight, retailers are hoping to get a head start, and get creative, to get your business.

"We're seeing a lot of retailers come out of the gate with very early holiday shopping deals, along with return policies and price protection" Bodge told KTRH, "And so what I am anticipating is, that retailers are looking to grab that consumer early in the holiday shopping season, because we only have so much to spend."

As a result, we could see big name companies like Macy's and Toys R Us combine, to try and bring in more business. For shoppers, Bodge says be on the lookout for those early deals, especially on-line, and go ahead and put together a list, so you are prepared, and don't end up going over budget.

That leads us to the poll question.
