buy now or wait for sales?

Options
Hi, I have some m and s vouchers and thought I'd treat myself to some nice bakeware tomorrow, to make Christmas goodies. However, I am wondering if it is best to make most of my purchases AFTER Christmas.

Basically, will normal, non-Christmas items be on sale after Christmas? e.g. 10% off everything?? Or is it just the Christmas stuff that will be on sale?

I realise you can't predict the future but I wondered if anyone can remember from years before?

Many thanks!

    There are usually a range of clearance items at M&S in the post Christmas sale.

    If you don't buy now and they're not on sale, then just buy when you've checked.

    I wouldn't buy now personally I would wait and see.

    Over the past few years I've noticed the sales are better before xmas and usually disappointing after.

    If what you want isnt on a discount at the moment , then leave it until after Christmas . What have you got to lose ? Worst that can happen is that you will pay the same price
