MARQUETTE -- We may still be in a troubled economy, but that's not stopping people from holiday shopping this weekend in the U.P.

Cars packed the parking lots at the Westwood Mall this weekend.  Inside, shoppers are sticking closely to their lists and holding out for just the right deal.

Shoppers told TV6 that with some financial responsibility, they're spending more this Christmas season.

"I think we're spending a little bit more because we did the Christmas Club this year.  So we were able to save up, so it just worked out that we're able to spend a little bit more this year," said Marquette shopper, Jeanne Langsford.

And with 11 days until Christmas, national analysts say bigger discounts are likely to come in the next week.
