Isn’t the Holiday Shopping Season Over?
When I think about holiday shopping, I usually associate late November and early December as the times when most consumers are out in full force. Today, however, I read an news story about retailers offering huge discounts in order to keep holiday shoppers out at the stores. on the day after Christmas!
Ok, I must admit I may be a bit behind the times when it comes to shopping. Apparently the day after Christmas has been a large shopping day for some time now. With gift cards and exchanges and discounted prices, it’s not really a surprise. When I read this eye opening (to me at least) news today, I took a look at some of the last minute gifts from Kmart. Kmart has always been a reasonably priced store, at least from what I can remember. But, with all the discounts you can find on the day after Christmas I found huge deals on electronics, clothes, and jewelry. On their website they actually had a 32″ high definition flat screen TV for only $499. Plus, Kmart is offering $1 shipping on every item on their site! You can go wrong with deals like that.
