Shoppers May Be Less Likely To Spend Big This Holiday Season

Florida shoppers say they're not very comfortable spending amid rising gas prices and pandemic blows.

Higher prices and supply chain issues both might be reasons why a new survey shows Florida shoppers aren't very confident about the economy right now — bad news with Black Friday shopping just two weeks away.

Virginia Reynolds says it's tough trying to get into the holiday spirit right now.

"Because of the availability of things, the gas prices going up — it makes it hard," Reynolds said. "You have to watch what you're buying. You don't want to end up in the hole."
