More retailers to offer post-Christmas sales

Bargain hunters are tipped to be out in force this weekend with retailers hoping to rake in billions of dollars in post-Christmas sales.

Australians are expected to spend more than $16 billion over the next three weeks after an impressive showing on Boxing Day.

Myer boss Bernie Brookes said crowd numbers outside his stores so far have been "significantly" higher than in 2013.

David Jones also has reported a jump.

The post-Christmas spending spree comes despite many retailers having kicked off their stocktake sales online on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
