According to a survey by Deloitte, 72% of consumers expect higher prices this year, and they’re compensating by planning for fewer gifts and cutting back on non-gift holiday spending.
The same survey estimates about 66% of consumers plan to take advantage of promotional days and Black Friday sales, but with elevated prices seemingly here to stay, shoppers can use all the savings help they can get.
According to CapitalOne, Americans are on the hunt for a bargain this holiday season, and using coupons plays into that mindset.
To help combat rising costs, many consumers are turning to their smartphones.

With numerous coupon apps available for download, saving money through couponing is easier than ever.
