Is it me or are the sales rubbish?

GAME have got some good reductions on games.

ie. I think they are selling new Tomb Raider for £15 less than Tesco at the mo.

Other than that, haven't found much to get excited about

Treated myself to a new dressing gown and several pairs of pj's from Disney online, I spotted them before xmas and kept an eye on the prices so I know the sale deal of half price is genuine.

Had a few bits from Debenhams and used the 20% code so got the bits of cookware I needed and a few presents for next xmas/birthdays.

Haven't ventured to the actual stores just online. Play and Amazon sale disappointing compared to last years.

Just off to browse Boots for any good presents, although the sets dont seem as nice as previous years and I try and not buy toiletries unless I know the person uses the range.

I got a few bargains, 100% cahmire jumper £13 from Asda, loads of tops for £3 at Matalan.

Got most of my clothes from LX Direct, Helly Hansen jacket from £130 down to £26 , Rockport jeans from £60 down to £7.50 and loads of others

Have ordered some half price toys and gadgets from Boots.com, which if they all turn up have completed all of the male (child and adult) birthdays I have to deal with this year, and added over £20 of points to my card (almost a month's nappies).

Other than that, a little bundle of half-price edibles from Lakeland (again for birthdays), and some 75% off cracker making kits from Sainsburys (for teachers next year - on my budget I have to plan ahead), there hasn't really been anything out there to get excited about.

Which in some respects I'm quite happy about as I only have about half the funds I normally do for sale shopping anyway, and it's helped focus my mind on what I want, what I'd quite fancy, and what I actually need.

Have bought a lot of xmas stuff for next year cards and paper and bags and wired ribbon which is soooo lovely on a present but v expensive unless you get it half price.All from Matalan and wilkinsons. Boots a huge disappointment and m&S SALE A WASTE OF TIME IMHO bought from asda and clarks online very good pressies for hubby and dd1 birthday in feb and march and for mumsy's birthday some lovely clobber from evans.all in all though you have to be very discerning and my rule of thumb is to only buy something if it is genuinely half price or less. Could not bring myself to venture into woolies though did not feel right to profit from their demise somehow silly I know!

While watching the mid-day news today they had a reporter in Debenhams reporting on the sales, at the end of his report he mentioned that there would be bigger reductions across the store come Friday.

So maybe the bargains have'nt really started yet.

I agree and have since tried some online sale shopping and was really anticipating the superdrug online 90% sale but when I logged onto the wesbite it was down due to "technical difficulties"! Maybe too many people logging on?? or maybe...a CON!:rolleyes:
