Ever wonder why your local outlet mall felt like a Black Friday rerun this holiday? Shoppers shrugged off money worries and spent 4.2% more, especially in stores. The trick? People hunted for deals, used AI to compare prices, and pounced when the price was right. Retailers noticed and started slashing prices, so if you want to save, time your buys for those markdowns—your wallet will thank you! #Business #LocalBusiness #ShoppingTips
