The Daily Money: What is slow shopping?
Good morning and Happy Friday! This is Betty Lin-Fisher with Friday's consumer-focused The Daily Money.
You've probably heard of impulse shopping, but have you heard of slow shopping?
Chances are you may slow shop yourself and didn't know it.
It could come in handy this holiday season, but there are also some pitfalls.
Take me out to the ballgame
As the 2024 World Series begins tonight, the showdown between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers could set records – in stores and in the stands.
Fans are buying new jerseys, shirts, hats, bobbleheads – and even a team WWE Legacy Title Belt for $550.
How much does it cost to cheer on your favorite team?
Hey, can we have an awkward conversation?
The next story in my Uncomfortable Conversations About Money series, which tackles awkward situations about money and gives you some relatable advice, is probably one that hits home.
Are you a parent juggling the endless fundraisers for your kids? Or are you on the receiving end, constantly being asked to buy wrapping paper or popcorn?
How do you handle the situation with some grace? My story publishes online on Sunday.
I'd love to hear from you. How did you handle the endless fundraiser ask – on either side? I'm also looking for someone to share their uncomfortable scenario when a friend gave you a holiday gift and you didn't have something to reciprocate. What did you do? Email me at blinfisher@usatoday.com with "Uncomfortable Conversations" in the subject line.
