Black Friday/Cyber Monday Strategy: Get the Real Deal, No Gimmicks

The holiday season is around the corner, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday are close behind. At Guadalupe Credit Union, we understand that it’s not just about getting a good deal, but making smart financial choices that benefit you in the long run.

The Real Deal or Just a Gimmick?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer plenty of deals, but are they genuine savings or just marketing tactics? Use your shopping experience to stay smart and consider quick price comparisons to gauge the true value of the offer.

What's the Full Cost?

That discount may look appealing, but what about additional costs like shipping and warranties? Look beyond the initial price tag to get a sense of the true cost.
