### Memorial Day Sales: More Shoppers, Less Spending? Sounds About Right.
So, a survey from Retail Me Not tells us that 54% of people are gearing up to shop during Memorial Day weekend this year. Great news, right? Except hold on—those same folks plan to drop a jaw-dropping 70% less cash compared to last year.
How does that work? More people shopping but with their wallets on a diet? You’d think the economy is thriving based on the number of shoppers, but then you see the spending drop and it’s like a bad punchline.
Consumer savings expert Andrea Woroch weighs in—because we need an expert to tell us that people are trying to save money in tough times. Who could have guessed?
So, more shoppers are hitting the sales, but they’re clearly not buying much. Sounds like a classic case of “look, but don’t touch.” If this isn’t a sign of the times, what is?
