@pbsnews: Consumers still feel inflation’s squeeze as holiday shopping season begins The weekend after Thanksgiving is the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, beginning with Black Friday. Some retailers have been offering discounts throughout November in hopes of encouraging shoppers squeezed by inflation to open their wallets. We hear from people about their shopping plans this year, and John Yang speaks with retail analyst Dana Telsey for more. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #shopping #blackfriday #blackfridaydeals #blackfridaysales #retail #sales #inflation #economy #discount #holidayshopping #holiday
ZERO shopping for me! And no shopping unless necessary for 2025! I’m done!

i have to wonder if dales being up is based on number of transactions or based on dollar amount. because the latter is affected by a raise in cost.

I told my kids we aren’t doing gifts as they have everything. How many more toys do kids need? I would rather play games or travel with them.

We can’t afford gifts if we can’t afford food, rent, gas or medical bills.

Target and Walmart both deep discount toys in the summer months, that's when I shop for my girls. I'm usually done by September so all I have to do is wrap it by Christmas
