Shoppers defy downturn
They may think like Scrooge, but Manitoba consumers seem to be acting more like Santa. Probe Research surveyed Manitobans about their spending plans this holiday season, and more than one-third of respondents (36 per cent) said they planned to cut back on gifts and entertainment in the face of the economic downturn that has gripped much of the country -- except, for the most part, Manitoba.
The survey of 1,000 people was carried out by Probe for Jory Capital Inc. and the Winnipeg Free Press between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7.
