So... deflation ONLY 'helps spenders' when it COMES TO AN END (& they know that prices are not going to go any lower....)

While there are exception the deflation is caused by unemployment or a few sectors such as housing losing value quickly. Generally those that have jobs benefit even if they spend all on the way down. However most people stop buying as much, which only feeds the deflation.
