Retailers report sales on the basis of 4 or 5 week periods ending on the last Saturday of every month. There are exactly the same number of Saturdays this year versus last year in all of the sales reports.

Their periods don't coincide with the calendar month.

September retail sales were exceptionally strong. There is no other way to interpret that fact.
