Last year, Sanner, 33, spent around $500 on gifts, but this season she plans to trim her budget to $300

How much is she spending to service her credit card debt each month?

Because the extra COVID benefits in the ACA are naturally sunsetting? How is that a tariff issue?

Also, this is what happens when you depend on government to provide a service while that same government is running up astronomical debt. Start demanding more fiscal responsibility from your elected officials instead of demanding more handouts because this is just a peak at what's coming as the USD continues to get crushed by federal deficit spending.

Crazy how not continuing something that was inserted solely to help with a pandemic five years ago is now a talking point to beat the other side over the head with.

If only Kamala had won... just think how much better everything would be right now? Am I right?

She wouldn’t be hitting every single country with tariffs.

Christmas turned from a birthday celebration for Jesus, to a commercialized holiday for everything from small businesses to big corporations. Would love nothing more than the shopping and buying attitude towards the holiday to die out. Get back to spending time with the family and enjoying good food and celebrating the real reason for the day.



ALL OF THIS!!! It used to be my favorite holiday because it was family time for me and my family. Now it is all about consuming as much as possible and the next "hot toy" of the season. It has made me become a scrooge because of it.

Black Friday has turned into something that needed to be ruined.

I voted for this.

Sensationalizing with these anecdotes street interviews is a waste of time and cherry picked.

Don't look now, but Donald is pushing for those ACA credits to get a two year extension now.

I would bet the G string was out of tune though...because of tarrifs.

Except for the part where black Friday has mostly moved online, and has been running for about a week already

So no one feels the need to get up at midnight to roam parking lots, waiting for a slot to open up

But you knew this already, so I'm not sure why you purposefully chose to come across as stupid, on an anonymous message board

I saw Sams had a 65 inch TV for 228.

I don't think tarriffs are hurting Black Friday Deals that much.

The Fed is out here making decisions which is increasing the cost of living for everyone, but it's the tariffs fault? Will those people complaining about tariffs voluntarily refuse any tariff rebates next year?

We aren't getting "tariff rebates"

And if by some miracle we did, it's literally wealth redistribution. A Bernie Sanders plan. Taxing the rich and giving to the poor.
