Stores at the Westfield Connecticut Post Mall are offering deep discounts to combat the recent report of poor retail sales.

However, despite the numbers, Post Mall retailers say they?ve actually seen an increase in traffic. Mall officials say that is due to the discounts and sales offered.
Mall officials urge shoppers to check advertisements for the best deals.
For those shoppers looking to save even more, they could always tell Santa, who is already at the mall.
