Miami ? You’ve got today off work. Do you really want to spend it at the mall?

“You’d think everyone would be exhausted,” said Maria Prado, general manager at the Miami International Mall. “But for some reason the prospect of deals gives them a second wind.”

Sound familiar? Just know you won’t exactly be lacking in company. Dec. 26 has traditionally been one of the 10 busiest shopping days of the year, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, a New York trade organization.

“Patience really is a virtue today,” said Prado. “Retailers are going to be short-tempered in a sense; returns, being an added transaction, will make lines longer and slower.”

Still want to head out there? It could be worth your while.

Retailers are looking to liquidate as quickly as they can to make room for spring merchandise; chances are, you’ll encounter markdowns of up to 60 percent off.
