Have you bought anything in the sales?

[TooMuchDontCare]

I wasn't planning on buying anything at all but I've somehow managed to snag a wool coat online M&S half price

It was out of stock anytime I checked until this morning. I woke early & had a look on my phone & it had restocked & i managed to get it!

I'm delighted as it will be an excellent coat for work & I have been on the lookout for ages for one suitable for the office.

I've also fallen in love with a dress someone posted on style & beauty but it's full price & too expensive so I'm resisting it. For now....

Did anyone else get anything nice?

Nope

A new sofa. It had £500 off.

I bought a nightie in Marks's sake yesterday (God I'm turning into my Nanna !)

And some reduced-to-clear chocolate

A duck in the shower ornament for my bathroom, some new bedding and 8 new mugs (they all match, yay!).

Bagged some half-price Tripp suitcases which I’m delighted about. Also got DH a lovely sweater in the Fat Face sale along with some other small bits.

Candles. Quite a few from the St Eval sale with 70% off (almost sold out now) and a couple from the Isle of Skye Candle Company which might be my new favourites.

I've ordered a skirt in the Oliver Bonas sale, and some crocs for one of my children. I've been so ill I've hardly left the house since Boxing Day 😭

I went to the retail park yesterday to buy some small DIY bits. Came back with a rug, 40% off 🙂

Ice skates for DD. They were only £11 (down from 60) and will save us £4 in skate hire each time she goes.

No…I hate sales to be honest. Most of it is crap.

I went and ordered a new settee today. Not sure it counts as those furniture shops seem to have permanent sales on!
I stopped off at a parade of shops near me on the way home, and got 7 boxes of Christmas cards for half price for next year!

Bought a Campomaggi bag from Hoopers. Was £700 reduced to £400

I love to buy clothes in sales from shops that are generally on the expensive side like me+em, toast, ba&sh, maje, Sandro etc. I've got my eye on a couple of things but they either don't have my size or they're not reduced yet.

I never go into shops after Christmas as I've no tolerance for it.

Just before Christmas I got €1,100 worth of clothes for under €500 & i was very chuffed with that as they are from one of my favourite brands are are things I will get a lot of wear from & will love ❤️

Oh @twiddlingthumbs I bought a Campomaggi bag in last years sales & i adore it! I'd seen it on the Plumo website but I'm in the EU & it was far too dear in sterling. I saw the makers name & tracked it down on another website & paid a fraction of the cost.

It's v beautiful & much admired whenever I use it

Mines small brown leather with studs & a chain strap which can be doubled to make it short or left long for crossbody

a cashmere jumper

I bought a Toast wool-cashmere workshirt (from the men's collection) which will hopefully be very versatile and useful. £100 off so I was happy enough with that. It's not arrived yet though.

However, I'm on a 2025 no-buy from tomorrow, so that's me done!

I usually do, but haven't been able to find anything I like this year. The sales just all seem full of the crap that no one wants.

Just this jumpsuit. Not a massive discount and wasn't expensive to begin with. But the fabric and fit are lovely, I wore it Christmas Day and am delighted with it.

I've ordered some shoes and a coat from Vinted and received boots & 2 dresses as Christmas gifts so I've got plenty and mustn't look at buying more clothes until Spring now.

I usually always buy in the sales but I don't really need or want anything at the moment so although I've had a cursory look nothings taken my fancy yet

I called into the garden centre earlier and got some baubles, I saved more than I spent.
I hadn't intended on buying them but they are lovely and will be used next year.

Plenty of hand soap / body washes. I don't know why but it's a bit of an obsession I have. I'm not going to buy anymore until I've REALLY ran out
A hair dryer
Some clothes for DC

I bought a calendar today for £2, a hot water bottle & cover for a fiver and two rolls of wrapping paper at £1 each. All half price.

Not exactly the last of the big spenders, am I?

Struggling to find anything that doesn't still feel full price, as everything seems so expensive full price that the sale price doesn't feel like any discount.

I think I feel quite saturated with clothes and "stuff" and can't fully justify anything.

A new bed, thanks to my DH wrecking of current bed on NYE

Yes, but it was stuff I needed and would have bought anyway so I'm chuffed! New roller blinds for the kids bedrooms (theirs both broke) for a tenner each down from £20, and a new oilcloth table cover which had 20% off I think, both Dunelm.
Oh and I didn't technically need a Christmas oilcloth, but I didn't have one already and it was 50% off and I LOVE it.
That's the only sale stuff I've bought.
