Anyone hitting the sales after xmas???

I know were in a credit crunch but i am a sucker for sales and ususally buy some tosh every post xmas sale time even though the shops are heaving. I think its the thought that loads of people are getting a bargain on something and im missing out!

Clothes are the worst purchases for me, i usually buy some tosh that i probably wouldnt even look at if it didnt have 70% off

Any of you guys hitting the sales? What are you looking out for, maybe you can post on here if you bag yourself a bargain that you wish to recommend or gloat about!

Re: Anyone hitting the sales after xmas???

I will be, if there is anything worthwhile. I tend to get alot of vouchers and cash for christmas instead of presents.

I usually blow it all in HMV

Re: Anyone hitting the sales after xmas???

In theory I shouldn't do as I've just spent out on a Christmas present to myself (B&W Zeppelin)......however in reality I'm a sucker for a discount sticker and the thought of a bargain so I'll no doubt succumb.

I'll let you know!

Haha, I know my wife will be out stocking up for next year. She'll probably buy some presents as well.

Oh it does....and I think the neighbours love it too

I've only had it a week and I'm so pleased with it that if I could've fitted it in my car then it would be coming down to Bournemouth with me today!

You're providing students with that lot? I hope you charge through the roof rent lol. I've had to provide my own tv's for my house, a 26" CRT for living room and a 26" LCD HDtv for myself in my room

As a student renting, I can assure you besides basic furniture and kitchen appliances you really are not expected to put in LCD TVs, though I am sure any potential tenants would not want to discourage you

Hope you will have the appropriate content insurance
