Shoppers are seeing red. Crimson signs offering steep 엄청난 discounts on everything. “I’m spending less this year ‘cause I’m looking for sales. Only sales.” Will you buy anything that’s not on sale? “Oh, no. I can’t afford it.” Last year, shoppers spent more than $900 on their holiday gifts. This year, they say they’ll spend about $700.
With less cash up for grabs 먼저 잡는게 임자인, 대혼란의, stores are getting aggressive 공격적인, 적극적인 offering holiday sales before the turkey even hits the table. Have you ever seen sales this steep this early? “No. Retailers just want to get people in the stores.” At JCPenny, gold jewelry is already marked down 60%. HD TVs at BESTBUY reduced $500. Even KBToys has already cut prices. This sweater at Macy’s tells the story. It originally cost a $110, was reduced to $79, today it’s on sale for $49. But if you use your Macy’s credit card, they’ll take another $25 off. So that $110 sweater is now just $24.

I think the sales will become very vibrant 자극적인, 강렬한, very big because people are…. shoppers are so smart today. Any year, they know when to wait for the sale.” And many shoppers say they will wait for prices to drop even further. 43% say they’re willing to wait until after the holidays to get the best deal on exactly what they want.
