Returning goods and buying again?!

For a £30 saving its worth being a little embarrassed!!

Either take it back, then wait a day or two before re-buying, or take it back and exchange it for something similar.

a friend of mine does something similar every year. she buys clothes from major retailers for family xmas pressies, and keeps the receipts. then she hits the sales big time, and buys the same clothes, now with a massive reduction, which she then takes back the following day with the pre xmas full price receipts, and gets full price back. voila! xmas pressies at sale prices, IF you can afford the time to do it!

Shops are getting wise to that, though, thankfully, because its a form of stealing.

I shop for my kids' clothes at NEXT, and have noticed that on sale items, the label is marked with a red dot so they can tell if it was in the sale or not.

I found it useful though, because I returned clothes that had been given as a present (brown and orange coloured baby stuff - yuk) and the stuff was in the sale, but I had no receipt - but because the label wasnt marked, they gave me the full price. :j

Take it back and then go back later and purchase it again. :rolleyes: It is doubtful they will remember it is you again at such a busy time of year.

I bought a £10 pair of jeans in Tesco yesterday and forgot I had a 250 point clubcard voucher if I spent a tenner at home. Went back today and bought another pair of same jeans and handed over voucher, then wandered straight to CS and returned the new jeans on yesterdays receipt.

!!!!!!? absolutely...but that's £10 deal vouchers, better in my pocket than theirs

Personally I'd go back in and explain what happened with the voucher, to them the voucher is as good as cash when they redeem it so shouldn't be that much of a problem. I'm sure the staff would do the same
