Debenhams price increase

I'm gutted, I found beautiful bridesmaid dresses in Debenhams and now they've strangely gone up in price.

I need two and as they are £150 (very non MSE) I was waiting and saving up a bit. Now sometime since Sat they've jumped to £160.

It's not fair :(

Anyone think perhaps they are getting ready for a 20% off everything day?

    I know this is cheeky to do BUT!! Our wedding list is with Debenhams and when we went in to set it up they gave me a £50 voucher once I set up the list and then a 10% voucher of a purchase. The girls in the store were fantastic and actually told me that if I was ever in store up until the wedding and wanted to buy anything to call in to them and get another 10% voucher.

    Oh and I got all of this before anyone evenbought of the list.

    So 10% = £32 off - £50 = £238 for both dresses and that isn't including any instore discounts at the time of purchase.

    When's the wedding? There will be a Mega day in November, sometimes they have one in late Aug/early Sep, seemed to depend on sales figures.

  • thanks everyone.

    The wedding is not till 2nd Jan so I do have time to wait for 20% day but part of me is panicking that the dresses will go out of stock before then.

    Thanks for the gift list info but you don't get the £50 voucher until you've spent £250 now.

    However, I have got a 10% voucher and thought about putting the purchase on an account card (just for the discount and pay off straight away) which will get another 10% off.

    Just dissapointed this would be 20% off £160 now rather than 20% off £150.

    Might go to the shop tonight to see if they've forgotten to change their labels. Might get lucky I guess

    Is it this one by any chance? I'm considering it too, if it is. They've put another one I was looking at up by £5 as well.
