Women are different and so they get their knickers in a twist if they find someone else with the same pair as them. This is why women buy shoes from cheap and nasty outlets because lets face it if a shoe is in a sale its because no one else wants it so if you buy loads of sale shoes that no one else wants then you have sod all chance of coming across another pair at a function.
Haha..I don't often buy sale shoes..Never find any I like in the dross that is left behind. I usually buy the same brands, at previews so I have them before the official season comes out..Or failing that, ebay is my best friend!!0 -

Not sure why you quoted me here, but I don't think women do "get their knickers in a twist" if someone is wearing the same shoes as them. I tend buy shoes in the sales becasue I'm loath to pay full price, as one, it's not very money saving and two, I'm tight like that :rotfl:
My sister paid £120 for a pair of shoes in Fenwicks (don't think Fenwicks could be described as cheap and nasty) because she had to have them there and then. I waited a few weeks and picked the same pair up (horrors, we have the same shoes!!) for £30.
I don't buy indiscriminately, I just usually wait until the ones I want are reduced.0 -

Becasue apparently we are in times of economic and financial hardship, meaning not so many ppl can afford to buy them, so they still have some left when the next season stock comes in..??0 -
But shops sell off the crap whatever state the economy is in. Why would a shop sell of something at a discount price if it knew it could get a higher price?piratefairy wrote: »Becasue apparently we are in times of economic and financial hardship, meaning not so many ppl can afford to buy them, so they still have some left when the next season stock comes in..??Who I am is not important.

Oh goodness, you're just boring me to tears now.
I don't quite understand why you're on a money-saving site dissuading people from saving money where they can.0
