Holiday Shopping


Memorial Day is this weekend.  I don’t know about you but I like to think that this is the kick off to summer.  It also makes me ask “where did April and May go to?”.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to shop.  So when I see shopping stats it makes me pause and pay attention.  Based upon recent surveys from 2 of America’s top research groups, shoppers will approach Memorial Day as a “big” shopping weekend.  Consumers are clipping coupons and looking for sales on this typical summer kick off weekend.  Some might even call this the Black Friday of the spring!  They are saying that shopping levels this holiday weekend could exceed 35% as compared to 2011.  It is also a great time to pick up a cute new summer outfit or two while the selection is still good.  By the Fourth of July weekend, racks are getting picked over and back to school along with Fall is arriving in the stores.  So what are you waiting for?  Grab your credit cards and head to the stores!
