Well, you know me. I love to spend money. So if I can use this Saturday’s “tax holiday” as an excuse to hit the mall, I’ll be there.
I did have one thought about this earlier today: do they really think that this will account for a huge increase in sales? Isn’t it possible that people who would have gone out to buy something yesterday, today or tomorrow are instead putting it off until Saturday? So yes, Saturdays sales numbers will be great, but the rest of the week will suck? I don’t want to be pessimistic, I love the idea of not paying sales tax Saturday, but the reality is that there was something I was going to buy yesterday that I’m putting off until the 14th (saves me the gas driving up to Nashua, really). Do the malls look as abandoned today as I think they will?
