Experts say start your Christmas shopping early
Talking about ways to save you money. We're 102 days away from Christmas, in case you're counting and some of you might have already started buying presents. Yeah, experts say the rest of you should start. Vinay Simlat joins us to explain why we need to shop for Christmas before Halloween. Yes, you know why, Abby. Heather, we're only about 6 paychecks away from Christmas, so you should start setting money aside and buying gifts now. We're making a list and checking the price we leave. You're on a budget. It's best to really shop early and then also continue to look for those deals. UT professor of retail Michelle Childs says start looking for deals now. In September, she expects lower prices for big ticket items like appliances and summer items like swimsuits and grills. Obviously, better to shop now as we're ending that season. Travel may not be a gift, but it's time to look now. This is about the time where you can book ahead and still get those deals. And she wants you to remember we are still having supply chain issues. If you buy it on Black Friday, it actually might not arrive in time for Christmas.
So by now, save some money and save some stress. We've got our gifts picked out. So we got you all some gifts. Open Mic, please open up now. Should we wait till Christmas morning? I feel like it's Christmas morning. So you ask, Oh my gosh, you get bored while Mike's doing the weather? I noticed Mike wasn't on your list and you didn't get a present.
Does that mean he was on the naughty list? This is amazing. I love it, you know, and you even got the IT even has a cut out for my eyelashes. I love it. That's awesome. Alright, start shopping. Good tips. Thank you and thanks for the gift..
