They used to be the January sales, now they start before Christmas. They used to be a genuine sale, now it's a retail opportunity to fleece us. I am so cynical about them.
Does anyone really enjoy them or get anything worthwhile in them anymore?
Had the misfortune of being dragged around town (Cardiff) with the family today. Don't think I saw any worthwhile bargain in any shop and nothing you can't get for cheaper on-line.
Sale stock is largely tat nobody wants and increasingly, stock they've put out especially for the sale that wasn't in the shops anyway pre-Xmas. Suppose you can get some clothing deals but nothing to get excited about. Yet, despite heavy rain, the place was packed out with lost souls and the tills were ringing and with queues too. We are mugs!
It ended up costing me as I took the family to lunch. As much as ever and without discount of course!
