It’s important to maintain positive sentiment irregardless of the realities facing the vast majority of Americans

There were some actual actual deals out there this year. I watched several items on Amazon via CamelCamelCamel and they were at a low or a historic low. So I shelled out in advance of Christmas. But I actively avoided name brands. Especially many that are made in USA brands that I’ve watched sky rocket in price the past three years (looking at you Leatherman and Benchmade).

The average ticket was down but the cost per item was up, so most, if not all the sales increase was attributable to higher cost items
Still a strong signal if people are willing to pay more for less.
There were actual discounts this year. I’m furnishing a new office and everything that was in my cart actually decreased in price for black Friday. Maybe retailers got the hints and lowered the prices a bit to entice people.
