Item I bought last week is now in the sale

[Excitedforxmas]

Bought s Xmas present last week and today it's gone on sale with £40 off it. Aibu to take it back and rebuy it at cheaper price? My friend thinks I'm being a cheapskate but £40 is a big chunk of my budget

I'd do it, why pay more?

£40 is £40, go for it. Being a cheapskate is fun.

Not at all!! I would take it back and buy it again at the reduced price. £40 is an awful lot of money.

YANBU, I would do it. I've bought something before then found it cheaper in another shop and returned it.

If you take it back they'll likely refund you the sale price.

But if they don't, then yes why wouldn't you?

Do it. Do it. Do it.

if youve got the receipt and you only bought it last week, then go get a refund, definitely

Of course take it back. £40 is better in your pocket than theirs. I did this once in argos on a playbills school.

Is your friend willing to make up the difference?

I suspect not in which case she can butt out.

I'd do it although you may have to fight them to get the full refund now it's being offered at a reduced price.

Playmobil

I've done it loads of times. Go for it.

Oh thank you all. Will do it tomorrow!

Yes take it back, that would P me off big time.

Your friend probably hasn't got the balls or cheek to do it herself.

Definitely do it. Although make sure they have it in stock first. Sometimes there are funny rules about you not being able to buy the same thing for 24 hours.

If you have the receipt showing what you paid for it then they have to refund you the full price. Well, if they refund you full stop, tho they prob will. I just mean they're not legally obliged to refund, but most places have a return for refund within X days policy.

Yes do it - 40 quid is 40 quid

Hun be honest with them. They will usually just refund the difference.

Absolute common sense. Why hand over £40 when you don't have to? I'd be chuffed at the unexpected little windfall, personally!

I do it all the time. In fact, I keep the receipt off anything I buy for Xmas in case it gets reduced in the sales.

Why pay more when you don't have to.

Definitely. I do this all the time. As long as the original is within the return timeframe then you're not doing anything wrong. I would buy the reduced item first before returning the original, just to ensure you get it!! And £40 is def better in your pocket than theirs.

Your fiend clearly has money to burn and needs to man up!

Absolutely if you have the receipt.

Actually reminds me of last year when DH bought me a pair of boots from Crew about 2 days before Xmas for my present. Boxing Day or 27th sales and they were half price. I ordered a new reduced pair online to pick up from the store and he returned the originals.

It's so infuriating that DH and I have decided not to bother getting anything for each other (except a silly token gift to open on the day) for Xmas and go sale shopping in the post Xmas sales afterwards. Silly that's it's taken us so long to do this but I do think the slashing of prices minutes after Xmas has become ridiculous (but great for shoppers!)

Do it.
