If you’re thinking about stocking up this October, think again. Consumer experts warn it’s one of the worst months to shop. Why? Retail giants like Amazon, Walmart, and Target often hike prices early in the month—only to slash them later so their Black Friday “deals” look massive.
Translation: those “bargains” you see right now might just be smoke and mirrors. The smart move? Wait for the real heavy-hitter discounts on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Smaller shops or surprise Prime Day events may throw in a few worthwhile steals, but most of October is a wallet booby trap.
So resist the urge to click “buy now.” Unless you enjoy paying more for less, the scariest part of October isn’t Halloween—it’s your credit card bill. 🎃💳
