Buy a copy of Sarah’s new book. Heck, you can do it online!
I just don’t see how this holiday season will be anything but a bloodbath for retailers with 500,000+ people losing their jobs every month.
What ? This can’t be true. Obamaroid & gang say the recession is over. Isn’t everyone back to work yet? Hasn’t our homes gotten back to pre-recession values yet? Isn’t the war over? We won, right? Don’t we have cheap energy, & clean water, and everyone’s a lot more healty too, right?
Obammma will put up a website selling brown shirts and blinders
Obama's America
By now we have usually finished our Christmas shopping.
This year we havent bought a thing yet. Usally we hav a litle spending money, this year we havent, and we fear even more what is in the works. Trying to make House mortgage payments for your kids who are out of work , isnt such a fun thing on a retirement pay. Many Americans are facing this problem. Many more will be facing it.
Earnings season during a recession has a way of separating the best-run companies from the rest, and this quarter was no different. That dynamic was illustrated Thursday when Amazon, the web retailer, reported sparkling numbers and a strong holiday outlook just hours after eBay's lackluster Yuletide forecast. Amazon shares were trading up over 14 percent in post-close activity after the company reported that third quarter earnings jumped 68 percent from last year and its Kindle e-reader was selling like gangbusters.
This year will undoubtedly be slower than previous years, but everyone must remember it's the time of year when retailers start "poor mouthing" and talking about how pitiful their sales forecasts are for the upcoming holiday season. Happens every year towards the end of October.....
I’m in Retail. We are completely re-vamping how we ‘do’ Christmas...and I couldn’t be happier! :)
For my family members, with the exception of the grandkids, gifts this year have been and will be cash to help them fill in the gaps made for them by the economy.
I wanted the newly released Star Trek The Original Series on BluRay but Walmart has it at $59 a set and thats for just for the regular DVD format NOT the BluRay, they have been stocking less and less BluRay it seems so I just bought season 1 a little while ago on Ebay for less than $49 total.
And I needed a specific type of float battery charger for my new motorcycle I bought last month, bought it online at 1/3rd the cost at our local stores.
I think there are better deals online this season, unless its just where I live in Alaska the choices of brands are less it appears and the prices are inching higher. As long as shipping is reasonable I will buy online.
