  • I got up early yesterday and started to hit the stores at 9am, first place went to was PC World! What a waste of time! so i decided to go to Argos, what another waste of time, then JJBs, waste of time, then JD sports, picked up some white FILA socks was £15 now £5 for 5 pairs.

    To be honest, there''s not much I really need. People go buy stuff they dont really need because it makes them feel good i.e. emotional addiction.

    At the moment, I really do need some new shoes, trainers and black socks. I have not bought a set of clothes/shoes for about 3-4 years.

    SALES! is one big skank if you buy stuff you don't really need.

  • I really wanted a pair of skinny jeans so I decided to go to Next and M&S because they both were selling lovely jeans online for a very reasonable price.
    I got to the shops at 8 am which I thought was early enough but because Next had opened at 7.15 am, it was absolutely packed. I found the size I wanted amongst the jumble sale but the queue was ridulous so I went to M&S.
    As it was only about 8.15 am, M&S was relatively quiet but I couldn't find my skinny jeans anywhere. They were in a section far away from the sale and priced £25. So I picked up my size (the last size 10 long!), asked the cashier and they were £12!
    I am very pleased with my bargains and if anyone else wants a good pair of quality skinny jeans have a look at M&S. They may not be advertised in the sale but they are really reduced!

    I bought quite a bit of stuff in the Next sale this afternoon, almost got up at 5am but couldn't get that excited and my best bargain, a lovely leather coat for £60 from Wallis, was £120 originally

    Got a superb bargain from The Link - A HP Photsmart325 for ...............£4.99!!!!! It was priced at £9.99, I asked why it was so cheap and the manager said that as it was the last one and had been used for instore demo it would be £4.99 instead! I had just seen the same item in Boots at nearly £75 so i am well impressed.

    WOWWee some of you have got some super bargains wow!! I find that theres always a year when you just find everything and it all fits into place perfectly then other years.. a big waste of time!!

    I went to the matalan sale today and it was absolutely awful, I couldnt even get into the place (Merry hill, West Midlands) for a start!! I bought myself a lovely velvet jacket half price from 35 to 17.50

    a printer for 4.99 and socks for 49p!!! Wow you guys are incredible!!

    I love the way people who have posted on this thread have been so informative and friendly and im still really enjoying reading everything.. my sales may be rubbish but i'm so glad some of you are having a good time none the less :)

    Spent £12 altogether at tesco today on 4 birthday presents (smellies) all reduced..i usually spend £10 per person, so these are real bargins.
