Black Friday deals have already arrived to many stores, and WalletHub’s recent holiday shopping studies have revealed not all discounts are created equally. Analyst Chip Lupo says JCPenney, Belk, and Kohl’s rank as this year’s best Black Friday destinations with an average discount of at least 45-percent.
Cut 4 (06) “…biggest discounts.”
Lupo warned that discounts this year may not be as potent as they seem. Some retailers will raise prices before discounting them while prices on other items like many electronics have increased due to tariffs and a lackluster economy. Lupo says it’s important shoppers do their homework.
