UK Boxing Day sales expected to rise
Boxing Day is a special shopping day in the UK that comes right after Christmas.
This year, people are expected to spend about 3.8 billion euros on Boxing Day, which is a little more than last year.
Many people will shop online, but some will also go to stores.
Even though Black Friday sales were not very strong, people are still looking for good deals on Boxing Day.
Shoppers are being more careful with their money, but they are still spending more because of something called inflation.
This means they might not buy as many things, but the total amount they spend will be higher.
UK shoppers are expected to spend 3.8 billion euros on Boxing Day, a 2% increase from last year.
About 23 million people in the UK are expected to shop online on Boxing Day.
High street sales are projected to grow by 1.5%, while online sales are expected to rise by 3.4%.
The increase in Boxing Day sales is driven by a renewed interest in post-Christmas deals and inflation.
Despite cautious spending, the total sales value is expected to grow by 3.2% over the Christmas period.
