These data suggest that despite the rise in average spending per unit, economic difficulties are impacting consumers' willingness to spend on sales. In light of rising living costs and other financial challenges, many Brits will be more cautious with their budgets. This may affect the overall results of Boxing Day, as traditionally this shopping holiday has attracted millions of shoppers.
