This Is Why December 26th Is The Worst Day To Shop In New York

We are just 9 days away from one of the worst shopping days in New York State.

You might be wondering why December 26th is the worst shopping day, worse than Black Friday, worse than the day before Thanksgiving, it is because of several reasons.

Three reasons why December 26th is the worst day to shop in New York State.

REASON 1 - PEOPLE ARE RETURNING ITEMS

December 26th is traditionally a day that many people go and return items they got for Christmas. They will head back to the store and make that exchange for something they want. That means traffic is higher than normal at stores across the state.

REASON 2 - THERE ARE BIG DEALS/DISCOUNTS AT STORES

If you have ever been out at a store after a major holiday you know those stores are already gearing up for the next holiday and making room so they have major deals on the previous holiday items. That means plenty of people head out and try to grab those deals ASAP. That means some stores will have a lot more traffic with all those bargain hunters.

REASON 3 - PEOPLE JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE

After spending some time or a lot of time with family and friends some people just need to get out. Some people like to do this by heading out and doing some shopping. They might have some extra money from a gift card and need time away from family so they go to shop. That means a lot more people at the store.

If you are planning on heading to the store on December 26th, just know that it could be very busy.
