Retailers have been pinning ordsprog

Retailers have been pinning their hopes on Christmas bringing some festive cheer after months of depressed trading, and these figures are better than expected. They reflect the efforts made to entice customers back into shops, but the question is at what cost as prices are so heavily discounted.

The wholesale cost of gas on average was up nearly 42 cents per gallon. In some areas as high as 60 to 70 cents cost increases have happened.

December is one of the best months of the year for retailers. Of the past four years, retailers have beaten the market.
