I don't know if I can keep track of all the emailed promos for big clearance sales & post holiday deals!! Seems like the merchants have some great prices on stuff for the after Christmas shopping season. Many of the stores I subscribe to have amazing discounts & offers showing up in their email blasts and newsletters.

The retailer tracking for this season's shopping keeps talking about an actual slowdown since Black Friday's opening holiday shopping day and lagging sales due to the troubled economy. Shoppers are buying less and being very frugal about the purchases as an overall trend. I'll post some links to articles about that when I get more time to myself.

Right now we've got family staying over and I don't wanna get absorbed in my usual online activities & browsing, besides the fact that I'm still not done shopping!! haha Well now I can look for things we should've gotten or items that were out of stock that may have gotten returned. Actually a few shipments arrived today!!! And come to think of it, I still have two outstanding orders and one of them needs tracking because it should've been here on time for Christmas but wasn't and I gotta locate my invoice or confirmation email to make sure I ordered it to begin with and didn't change my mind while mega-cybershopping earlier this month.

If I don't get back in time........have a fun & safe Happy New Year & wish all readers a "Great 2008!!"
