They came early and they hit the malls
running.
It was no ordinary day.
It was the day after Christmas, a day
where people do more than just look,
we base that economy.
Some mall managers echoed that sentiment.
Many have reported that their sales have
been up this year compared to last year's
numbers. Retailers say they had an
extra week for Christmas sales and it
helped. I don't know
if it's just about our economy right now.
The unemployment rate seems to be fairly
low. People seem to be spending a lot
more during the week.
It was fairly moderate,
but then the weekends got real heavy.
In the last couple of weeks, everybody
started filing in and really picking up
the last minute gifts.
There are 300
people outside of Texas, the nation's
stores are trying to make the best of a
disappointing holiday season,
and those bargain hunters waited for the
sales and they say they shopped smart
this year. Many also say that they
spent more money than they did last year.
More than I usually do.
Yes.
You know, I still try
to look for the sales has been a lot of
great sales this year, you know, made the
money go a lot further.
I got good deals, a strong economy
and a high consumer confidence did
translate into strong holiday sales
and bargains for shoppers.
