DCP offers several tips for consumers to consider before completing their holiday shopping, including (1) carefully reading sale flyers, (2) shopping around, (3) asking about sale adjustments, (4) knowing store refund and return policies, and (5) comparing online and store prices.
DCP also advises consumers to not buy expensive service agreements or extended warranties, because research shows that products seldom break within the extended-warranty period, and when they do break, repairs often cost about the same as the warranty.
