in Shop but don't drop
If you're buying something big - TV, games console, new bed, something expensive the price'll drop quicker than an X-factor winner's chart position after Xmas.

So I've put together a list of the sales detailing where to go bargain hunting. If you're organised you could even buy some of next year's Christmas presents in the sales - just don't forget about them, where you've stashed them or who you bought for in 11 months time!

Before you go to the sales

Remember sales are designed to make you spend on impulse, and one of the problems is you often leave with 'great bargains' that you'll never use. If you can make a list before hand and then use the web to find the cheapest prices, that'll help to benchmark what you should be paying (read shopbots article).

And even if you haven't done any of that, don't feel forced to buy just because it's cheap. Take two minutes to think about it, get out of the shop and let the little spending demons run away first.

    BOXING DAY:

    Currys
    Can I just say that when we were in Currys the other day there was a sign that said if your purchase went down in their sale after Christmas, you can take your till receipt in and refunded the difference, so you don't have to wait until those horrible busy sales!! ;);)

    More info on their website here.

    Also remember that if you have bought something from John Lewis in the last twenty eight days they will match the price if you find it anywhere cheaper, including in their own stores and in sales, but not internet prices.
    Gone ... or have I?
