Among other things...
A pair of shoes from Office I had wanted since they came out in October. I waited and waited...and visited atleast 3 different Office stores to find them! £30 from £60
Kate Moss silk feather top, slight damage (repairable) so got it for £12 from £50 original cost!
DiorShow Blackout mascara set, £12.50 from £18.50, full sized mascara and 5 colour eye shadow set, v.pleased with that, the mascara alone is £18.50!
Gym bag from Adidas, £14 from £28
Topshop tops, one £3 from £18 and second £5 from £16. Also a pair of slippers, £3
YSL touch Elcait, £15.50 from £22.500 -
I went shopping at Boots yesterday online and got all items half price. So I've now got the majority of pressies for birthdays and Xmas next year. I also got the free gift when you buy £18 worth of No 7 products. But I didn't spend £18, it was the original price that was over that amount.
All in all I'm pretty chuffed with what I got.
All I want know is Nintendo DS games for under £10!0 -
I've bought in the Next VIP Sale, I spent *ahem* around £1000 but I've got stuff to the value of around £2,700. Scary. I've since checked the kids clothes and I *think* I may have overspent a little so some will either go back or go into the loft for next year. I also bought some bits that look fab but I never go anywhere to wear them but thought I would buy them and try them on anyway. That will make me feel special for half an hour!! LOL!! Still, free returns and all that!! The best buy was a £449 sofa bed for £199 though, I had been looking for one so I was chuffed to get a decent one at this price. Also got an 8MP Fuji camera for £49 and a Sat Nav at half price so either £67 or £76 depending on what one hubby wants to keep.
I got most of my sale stuff in the sales before Xmas ironically and was buying Ruby & Millie bits in Boots for £5 each and 3 for 2. Bargain!! Also got 2 x £50 FCUK sets from Boots on Advantage points - so totally free. Not sure I need anything else, if I do buy anything it'll go away for Xmas next year.0 -

Was the first in our local Woolies today (no queue!) grabbed the following for the Wii:
Zelda - was £34.99 - paid £17.50
Guitar Hero World Tour (without guitar) - was £29.99 - paid £15
Super Swing Golf - was £24.97 - paid 12.49
& Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 - was £28.99 - paid £14.50
Total = £59.49
But the bill came to £78.42 because she charged me twice for Zelda. Rather than refunding me £17.50 she refunded me £27.49.
Also bought Halloween on DVD (the Jamie Lee Curtis one) for £1.48!
so I paid £49.50
That was the best of the selection at our Woolies.0 -
I know what I've ordered in the sales but what actually arrives remains to be seen, especially with M&S!0
