Alot of people from personal observation. Some people are addicted to clothes shopping and they always like sales if it's not on sale they won't buy it and as soon as one comes on here they come. Me and my brother used to work for a clothing store.

Your first link no longer works and your second one says that Americans spend $1,800 per year per person, not per household.
