Any good bargains at the sales? I couldn't find anything really good....

[WishItWouldSnow]

but could get excited about your bargains.

amazon have some top shoe bargains (or they did have 2 days ago anyway)

no. not much

i didn't even buy anything in baby gap earlier.
got some half price stuff in monsoon for the children but that was about it

I got dd2 some clothes in next for her birthday tomorrow, a jacket from 35 down to 15, amongst other things

In h&m i got myself a purple cord fitted jacket down to £15, and an off white fitted shirt for £7

I got 20% off online elemis products earlier (timetospa).

pro collagen marine cream (the product I wanted) is usually £75 per 50ml ie £1.50 per ml. I got 30ml in a box set costing £40 (with discount) making £1.33 per ml, plus tons of extra goodies.

Was well pleased With free delivery, natch.

i thought next sale was good

I gave up in Monsoon. I know it seems really tight but everyday skirts were still way over £30 so I am going to wait another week and see what I can mop up from the mega reduced leftovers.

Oh oh oh, can I tell you what I got today???

I spent £47 in real money, and £50 in vouchers, and check this out, I got:

4 x cushions for living room
2 x lamps for living room
1 x king-size duvet set
2 x jeans for DH
3 x jeans for DD
3 x long sleeve tees for DD
2 x scrummy cardis for DD
2 x T-shirt bras for me
1 x opaque tights for me
1 x mascara for me

How brilliant am I is that???

Oh, I forgot the mushrooms, but they weren't in the sale

these are not in a sale but i really want a pair

The insider - did you need a code for the elemis site? I was on there earlier and didn't see that offer. Lurve the marine cream.

Good work fine mess!

I want some bargains!!Actually I am OK as didn't go wanting to find anything in particular and kids all spent their Xmas money so they are happy and I don't have to think about it any longer.

However, it was really quiet in our town today. Perfect shopping conditions just didn't happen for me.....

A friend told me that she went to the Next sale at 4.30 yesterday morning and yes, it apparently was worth it.....

I didn't buy anything in Gap either - normally love that stuff but I was really disappointed in this latest season.

Next sale still pretty good - got the jeans and bras from there.

cornsilk this link should take you to the homepage with the code on. EXTRAVA I think it was, for 20% off. Then I personally went for the "Divine Beauty" (that's me ) set at usual price £50, but down to £40 with deal.

Was very, very chuffed And went and slathered on tons of my old pro collagen cream which up until ohen I'd been ekeing out

i just kind of stumbled into next , as the first large store that would maybe have something for dd2 to wear (she needs adjustable waistbands as she is a slender willowy thing)

there was a lot of bargains knocking about still, i didnt queue for more than 2 mins either

was only when i got back and saw a thread about the next sale that i realised it was supposed to be something people wait in the freezing cold for hours, before opening just to attend

cheers!

Lou - why oh why would you do it, queue up I mean. Pure hype to control the punters. They think they are Harrods or something.

I bought

a chocolate brown felt trilby style hat, very jaunty £9 M&S

orange soft leather gloves £9, same shop

teal silk polka dot long scarf also £9, also m&S

I had seen all 3 things before Christmas and covetted them

i wouldnt queue at that time of the morning for any sale tbh

i think i have shopped in next maybe twice in over 5 yrs

quite a bit but mostly presents for throughout the year.

Our local LUSH shop does the most amazing deal each year, on Boxingday and as longs as things last, if you spent £20 you get ANYTHING FREE so i spent £40 and got a £80 gidt box free and a £50 free as well. i have 3 huge hat boxes full of LUSH!

People were queing for hours before the store opened, i think they should restrich how much you can get though as one bloke came in after me and picked up the last 7 huge hat boxes (£80) and then just brought £140 of stuff for his wife and got the 7 boxes free to give to his daughters. There were alot of people wanting them to.

got a lovely dress in Wallis from £55 to £15 - posh maxi stylee. Also got a new winter coat from there with 20% off (needed coat desperately so any reduction was welcome) and a £15 from £30 winter shawl. Also got jeans for £25 (half price) from Fat Face and loads of half price gifts from Boots to stock up the pressie cupboard.

well dd2 just bought bagfuls of goodies in the sales with her birthday money, she is becoming a bargain hunter like her mum
