Next SALE starts Monday 27th! Starts 3pm online xmas eve

I_Love_Shopping

We went shopping in Next today, got there @ 9/10ish was slitely busy, my mum picked up a pair of jeans and asked if they were reduced, the sales lady said they were (didn't bother checking) she went to the till and was charged full price. After realising went back and told them, showing them the receipt, they made a phone call & she got £30 jeans for £15, so managed to get £15 refunded.

My sister spent £64 on clothing for her two little boys!

I was at Bluewater today and I overheard one of the security guards saying that people were queueing all night (for the store which opened at 4am). He said there were lots of children in their Pj's which parents had bought with them. I'm not a parent so I can't judge but surely that's not the place for small children?

i will never take my kid along for the sale! pure torture for both parties i will say

there might b some people who cant get any babysitter at that time but surely is not fair on the kids

I am a parent and IMHO you are right, it is not the place for a child at that time of the morning

i saw a few kids at the sale the other day too, very young. Sure is a health and safety issue when the store is pretty unmoveable and they let huge buggies in though. Shame on the the poor dads standing in the middle of the isles piled high with clothes and unable to move with the buggy

My vue, if there is a Dad there holding the buggie then he could also be at HOME holding the baby!

I saw a woman in Bluewater today struggling with a twin pram, another two toddlers (who were walking) and a man in tow. I felt really sorry for them and the kids. I assume they had no choice, but what a family day out!

surely they can just wait in the car ?

I cannot understand the whole Next sale 5am thing. Just don't get it! Have never done it, and know I never will. We went to a retail park today, that had a Next store, and it was just heaving, the Next car park was very full. We went to the stores we were going for, and I looked in the Next home bit, and they did have some alright stuff, but nothing that I really went 'WOW' at. The queue for the till was huge, so even if I did see something, I wouldn't have wanted to queue.

But seriously, I cannot understand even further why the hell parents would take children? That is uncredibly cruel! Staying up for all hours of the night, just to 'buy clothes' ???????

Absolutely ridiculous...take them home to bed. They don't deserve that treatment.
:mad:

i always feel for my best friend who works for next, she had to be up at 4am to turn up to what is a complete chaos of a day of 4 children having a wee on the floor because they kept saying they needed to go but their mothers ignored them or told them to wait while they grabbed a bargain. One nappy on the floor. People arguing with her saying the sticker says £1 not £7 so they should sell it to them at that even though it did say £7 and scans as such and one fainter.

I think that it is great for kids clothes as you get beautiful stuff at good prices. I didnt bother going this time as have a habit of overdoing it:o however I very rarely buy clothes for ds anywhere else though so I think I spend less really as I do it all in one hit.


To people who think its sad/mad - it obviously makes much more sense to buy it at full price then???:p
