Christmas sales this year

[MondayYogurt]

Bit weak so far, yes?

I followed the link from an email proclaiming up to 70% off - all their dresses, which is their main seller had 10% off, one kids t shirt sold as a side line so you can do matchy had 60% off… so yes I suppose that’s almost up to…

I'm starting to think everything worthwhile sold out long ago at full price...

I agree.

Well, sales are generally how stores get rid of the stuff that didn't sell at full price, so you're not wrong

I’ve managed to get a few things. A cashmere hoodie from M&S, a handbag is been eyeing up elsewhere. Some skincare. Basically everything I had said I wanted when I was asked but didn’t get.

i got some great bargains in the Boots sale and couple of things off Matalan

Dunelm sale was ok

Is it Popsy you are talking about?

I was avoiding names but possibly and to be fair i filtered by my size which had the rubbish reductions so I just then clicked on all low to high price to see the kids things cheap so there may well be other things hidden on there with better reductions but .. the point is I’d have still clicked with a 25% off email... Kate spade was worse follow up to sale email… “seen something you like? Have an extra 10% off with code*”

*code not valid on sale items…

The problem is that we all love a bargain now so the retailers are spending all their time doing promos or incentives leaving the sales to not feel very sale like so whatever works for them I guess..

Absolutely agree, I was really looking forward to the sales and NOTHING I want is reduced.

Haven't looked online but a lot of shops in town have started their sales before Christmas this year
And Next are starting on 27th instead of boxing Day
So I think they're listening to people saying that shop workers shouldn't be working on boxing Day
I got a really good bargain in New Look and would have tried more on if I didn't have my child with me

IDK it's just that some years places like Selfridges really clear out old stock and this year it seems 20% is pretty average.
I have bought a few things but nowhere near the amount I did pre-covid. The discounts just aren't there.
