Post-Holiday Shopping: A Shift Towards Thrift Stores and Mindful SpendingThe holiday shopping season is over, but the impact on retail trends lingers. Despite higher spending this year, economic concerns and tariff-induced price hikes are reshaping shopping habits. More consumers are opting for thrift stores and discounters like TJ Maxx, as seen in Placer.ais data. Department store traffic surged before Christmas but fell from last years levels. Clothing shops experienced a seasonal boost, but sales still dipped year over year. Thrift stores saw a nearly 11% traffic increase before the holiday, with even higher-income households joining the trend. Returns are down, indicating more careful shopping. This shift towards thrift and mindful spending is expected to persist, influenced by economic caution and eco-friendly sentiments.
