Shoppers headed to stores today in search of post-Christmas bargains, as retailers sought to get rid of leftovers and recoup business in a season that will likely to turn out to be only modestly better than a year ago. Retailers are counting even more heavily on the week after Christmas to meet their sales goals. Many shoppers shied away from stores recently because of two consecutive snow storms in the Northeast, a lack of must-have items, a sluggish job market and a lack of bargains.
