Tips for going to a clearance warehouse sale?

beyond_skint

If you queue for a big warehouse sale, what tips do you all have. Im naturally quite timid and find I'm always 5 paces behind the crowd. What tips do you have so I don't go blind in the rush and I don't get trodden?

How do I get what I want before others grab over me and how do I stay focused?

In serious need of some pep talks here as I'm very shy and always get walked over by nature. Im trying to grow girly balls here!

You'll need some as this is the grabbit board for hot bargains and deals. You might want to try shop until you drop board for a general discussion topic such as this.

Just be aware that politeness won't count if there's a large crowd, they'll all be out for what they can get so don't stand for any nonsense and don't conceed a bargain to someone else if you got there first.

Obviously don't trample on people or push old ladies over!

Also, do you know what items are being sold? Give yourself priorities so you don't waste time deciding what to go for, also remember that the things at the front of the warehouse will be pounced on first so unless you're very far ahead in the queue, act smart and go (sprint) towards the back or a side until you see something you want!

Also, if there are small items and trollies, keep in mind that people can and WILL nick things out of them, it's not yours until you've paid for it! So keep a death grip on any items you hold dear or pay for them immediately then take them to the car and go back in or carry them around.

Good luck, let us know how it goes! :T:T:T:money::money:

Trust me, in my experience most of the old ladies will be trampling over the OP or anybody else between them and anything they want!!

are you sure there are actual bargains to be had? sometimes you can get cheaper by shopping around online for the things you actually want.

Yes deffo bargains its an outlet near me they only have this sale every now and then and things go for £2.50 instead of £30. It will be savage!

I'm natural very meek and not very forward with getting what I want, but I'd like to get a few things. I'm going to get there early, but I'm worried when I get in there, everyone will be one step ahead and I'll be too polite!

Thank you for you tips, and sorry I put this post in the wrong spot!
