Big spenders set to hit Boxing Day sales (South Coast Register)

Despite inflation and cost of living pressures squeezing budgets, the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) forecasted retail sales would remain strong.

The Nation Retail Association predicted a $3 billion spend in Boxing Day sales alone across Australia. The predicted spend looks to be a 7.9 per cent increase on last year's post-Christmas shopping which takes in the period from December 26 to January 15. Big spenders are expected to hit the Boxing Day sales with force as retailers prepare for a predicted $23.5 billion splurge across Australia.

Preparing a list can help you stay on track and buy only what you need and maybe a few things that you really want.

“When a product has a major fault, it’s up to you whether to go for a replacement or refund. Consumer NZ is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to championing and empowering consumers in New Zealand. The actual savings could be very different from the advertised offering. “If you receive a gift which isn’t up to scratch, you have the same rights as if you bought the product yourself,” Rasmussen said. A major fault means you wouldn’t have bought the product if you knew about the problem before you bought it.” “Once you’ve bought it, the retailer is not obliged to provide you with a refund if you change your mind or if your circumstances change.”

One shopper broke open her piggy bank, another said "even with the discounts, the prices are high".

We did not really miss out on much.” The Boxing Day comes on the back of the Christmas rush and ”We had to park all the way on the other side of the mall,” Caitlin Mikaio said. Their son Finlay Bayne was thrilled with the about 30% discount he got on the Ultimate 360 Cricket Helmet and the family said their first time Boxing Day shopping was looking good. In Hamilton, long queues of cars circled The Base and shoppers’ biggest challenge was to find a parking spot. Bevan and Kelly Bayne had tailored their Christmas gift cards to fit with the Boxing Day sale.

We were waiting for the Boxing Day deals to buy some basic household items.” Violeta’s mum Kanesha Walker said the family did not have a specific list of things to buy, but their daughter Violeta was after a doll and son Malachi Walker wanted toy cars. Violeta Walker broke open her piggy bank for the Boxing Day sales – but her mum still chipped in to help her get the doll she had her eye on.
