But while discretionary categories such as fashion and footwear might be less attractive for cash-strapped shoppers, household and office products will remain vital particularly for those needing to upgrade their home working station, according to QUT Business School professor Gary Mortimer.

"We know that more people than ever before are choosing to shop online,” he told news.com.au.

"However, right now consumers are genuinely concerned about paying down debt and saving money, not necessarily spending money on discretionary types of purchases.

"We're more concerned with paying the rent next week or servicing our mortgage, not particularly a new pair of boots or a new winter coat.”

Touchscreen HP laptop available for less than $1000. Note: this may not be he specific model on sale.

Prof Mortimer expects products in categories related to hardware and improvement, office stationary and furniture, consumer electronics, tablets and notebooks to be popular with shoppers.
