THE shopping frenzy, which retailers estimate will top $33 billion this Christmas, continues today with the traditional Boxing Day sales.
Despite successive interest rate rises and higher food prices, it seems little can stop Australians spending big at this time of year.
David Jones group general manager Paul Zahra described consumer sentiment as “very, very positive”.
Reflecting the good times, David Jones’s major stores in NSW, Victoria and the ACT will open their doors at 7am.
The retailer is expecting tens of thousands of customers to take advantage of what the company is promoting as “huge sales on big- name brands in every department”.
Myer is promising Australia’s “biggest stock sale” and many of its stores will also open at 7am and not cease trading until 15 hours later.
Online auction site eBay is also expected to do a brisk trade as people dispose of unwanted Christmas presents.
