Nope, thought about heading into town today but couldn't be bothered.

I might venture in next week once everyone is back at work and it is quieter.

Slinky, after what some papers have said about the public getting " again" ripped off with the prices, No, I would not go to any of their sales.

I don't do sales, except for online.
In the 70's a friend and I used to go to London for a whole week just for the New Year's sales and came home absolutely laden, those were the days of proper bargains.

No rarely go to the sales, the last time I did it seemed to be full of stuff going cheap that I'd never seen in stores before, really shabby crap.

A lot of stores started their sales before Christmas...and even then it was all rubbish. Its only a ploy to get people in. There area very few bargains to be had these days.

[pastafreak]

There *are* very few....

Kind of.... I just got some books on my wish list off amazon using christmas/birthday vouchers and I got a few with a very decent percentage discounted.

Was in the shops but not really buying wait until February when they really need to get rid, too many people at the moment scrambling for 50p rolls of Christmas paper

I think they buy in cheap rubbish just for the sales, although you can quite often get cheap(er) food by visiting Waitrose, or Tesco, quite early in the morning or late at night when they are refilling their shelves and getting rid of nearly out of date stuff. The local greengrocer was selling what he called a goodybag for £1. It contained a sealed bag of mixed lettuce, eight bananas and a bag of sprouts. It was a really good bargain and I didn't have to stand in line for it. Doesn't always have to be about clothes you know.

Some food being sold off cheap after Christmas and a lovely dressing gown I wanted anyway, saved a lot of money on it and what I did pay was covered by a gift voucher so a brilliant bargain :)

Went to the Designer Outlet today and spent more than I wanted to on a new handbag from Osprey, it was supposedly £149 down to £95 and now £79, a few minutes later I walked past another shop and saw a lovely one for half the price. Bummer. I daren't take the bag back because OH had been moaning about the time I'd spent buying this one.
