TWITTER Week of November 9, 2020 (see last week)
Consumer World Original
This Black Friday will be like no other. Retailers are spreading out their sales sporadically throughout November to limit store crowding on Friday, November 27. Most stores are closed on Thanksgiving this year. Advance copies of store sale flyers are late so that makes planning and price comparisons more difficult. Nonetheless, we offer our best tips to bag a bargain.

A few weeks ago, we examined a nasty practice at Walgreens whereby they programmed their checkouts to only accept the lower value of two applicable e-clipped coupons. This week, we turn to CVS, which on paper at least has some seemingly generous coupon acceptance policies.
That is our Mouse Print* story this week.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the not-very-friendly-to-consumers federal agency, just released new rules for debt collectors. They can now call you up to seven times a week (previously limited to three times under some state laws), and for the first time can contact you via email, text, and private messages on social media with no specific limit to the number of times they may do so. The new regulations go into effect in one year.
