Analysts envision a solid holiday shopping season, though perhaps not as robust as last year's, with many shoppers under pressure from overall still-high prices despite the easing of inflation.</p><p>The latest retail sales figures suggest that the economy is growing briskly again in the current October-December quarter, after having expanded at a sturdy 2.8% annual rate in the previous quarter. Since peaking at 9.1% more than two years ago, inflation has sunk to 2.6%, not far above pre-pandemic levels. And Americans' take-home pay, on average, has surpassed inflation for about 18 months.</p></div><div class="js-ad ContentBlocks_CardDetail__AdBlock__GpVT1"><div id="client_ad_dfp_mobile_slot_3" class="ad ad--styled-margin ad--preview ad--mobile"></div></div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k"><p>Still, the post-pandemic inflation spike has left prices about 20% higher than they were three years ago and dimmed Americans' outlook on the economy. That was a key reason why Donald Trump was able to capitalize on public discontent with the Biden-Harris administration and recapture the White House in last week's election.</p><p>Despite high price levels, though, Trump inherits an economy in which spending is strong, growth is solid and unemployment low.</p></div><div class="js-ad ContentBlocks_CardDetail__AdBlock__GpVT1 ContentBlocks_CardDetail__AdBlock--native__M_lBb"><div id="artcl_m1" class="ad ad--styled-margin"></div></div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k"><p>Other recent economic reports have also pointed to a healthy economy.

"The meat, the cheese."</p><p>Thompson said she's been buying less cheese and has been food shopping more at Walmart because she thinks the prices there are lower than at other supermarkets.</p></div><div class="js-ad ContentBlocks_CardDetail__AdBlock__GpVT1"><div id="client_ad_dfp_mobile_slot_4" class="ad ad--styled-margin ad--preview"></div></div><div class="styles_HTMLContent__LDG2k"><p>The National Retail Federation has predicted that shoppers will increase their spending in November and December by between 2.5% and 3.5% over the same period a year ago. During the 2023 holiday shopping season, spending had surged by a stronger 3.9% from 2022.</p><p>Some retailers say they expect consumers to spend more freely in the coming months.
