On Friday a few low value items sold. Today, as with the past few years, it is like someone shut the valve off and everyone died - nothing.

Each year,more online purchases vs physical store purchases end up in returns,and retailers eat the loss.
So there is more reason to entice shoppers to come to the store,examine the merchandise and take them home.
I dont know how the average consumers can keep spending,many have maxed out on their credit cards,and retail store CC rate is now at 34%
