From Black Friday door buster specials to pre- and after-Christmas sales, the start of the holiday shopping frenzy may soon engage your inner shopaholic—and leave you with a mound of debt by New Year’s.

Nationwide, sales are expected to reach $465.6 billion, putting retailers in the black.

Here are some useful tips to control your inner shopaholic this holiday season. —Lynette Khalfani-Cox
