Recession Discounts

If you're looking for a good deal, here are five kinds of stores offering big discounts as they struggle with a slowdown in consumer spending:

1. Car dealers. From 0% financing to thousands of dollars in rebates, now is a great time to buy a vehicle if you can afford it.

2. Home furnishings. Some furniture stores are offering steep discounts of up to 70% off.

3. Apparel. You can get some great deals...50% and more at many retail stores.

4. Electronics. There are discounts of up to 40% at some places, and $50 to $250 savings on some laptops. There are even some rebates of up to $400.

5. Full-service restaurants. Many are promoting lower prices and value meals at fixed low prices that include appetizers and entrees.
