SALES ALREADY IN PROGRESS

Expect the shops to be once more near full to bursting point today as the sales appear to come a day earlier each year for it was not so long ago that the first date of the sales was on Boxing Day, 26th December, whilst this year the starting gun was fired for many stores on Saturday 17th December in retailers desperate attempts to keep pace with the online stores such as Amazon.

The following is a list of in-store and online sales already underway or starting early next week (Tues/Wed) for at least 30% off with many retailers advertising sales of typically upto 50% off. Though in my opinion the REAL sales will only begin ONLINE on Christmas Eve and then continue into early January. So whilst enjoying your early week shopping spree, do bare in mind that in most cases the REAL sales will have yet to begin!

SALES Tips

Compare prices on your internet smartphone before buying.
The biggest reductions come towards the end of the sales season, i.e. Christmas stock can go from 33% off to 50% off to 70% off to 80% off over the week after Christmas.
Use a cash back credit cards such as AmEx to earn cash back.
Make a list of items that you really need to prevent buying of junk.
Look for discount vouchers in newspapers.
Look for discounts vouchers online for which there are many sites and app's.
Set yourself a budget and don't go over it.
Don't get into debt, there is no point saving 25% in the sales then paying 25% and beyond interest on purchases during 2016!
And the best discounts can be found on Ebay during January as people offload unwanted gifts and purchases to pay down Christmas debt.

A Merrry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!
