We went to a shopping center close to where I live called Fosse Park. The queue for Next was just crazy... luckily I don't tend to do the Next sale as I've previously worked it when I was 16... people nearly trampled on me it was so surreal!
So I went to Boots first for the various reduced fragrances then onto Accessorize, River Island and M&S. We didn't stick around too long, in fact I grabbed a coffee then was home for 9am! I did the rest of my sale shopping online and gained cashback via Quidco for spending my pennies!
I kicked off on ASOS where I found those super cute River Island boots and floral cigarette trousers. Two items I didn't see in store and were no longer on the River Island website. The boots were £65.00 reduced to £30.00 and the trousers were £45.00 reduced to £20.00. I did however pick up the dog tooth blazer in store which was £55.00 but had been reduced to £20.00.
The camera bag I know isn't my normal style but I saw it ages and ago and for some reason loved it! From £29.00 to £14.50. Great for actually taking my camera around with me! I also picked up a selection of necklaces and earrings for bargain prices.
Last but not least some classic tan leather boots. I have some black vintage ones but don't have well made decent brown ones, these I found from Spartoo website where they have a wide range of amazing designer footwear for a fraction of the price.
I didn't go crazy this year but I feel I have bought items that I will use a lot and will work throughout seasons. If you have been delayed on hitting the shops here are my Sales Tips...
- Always go in early - even now hit the shopping centres when they open and leave before the crowds arrive, it definitely relieves shopping stress!
- Research before hand
- If you think you've left it too long to shop in the sales, always remember that people will return items, so that top you're looking for may have been returned
- Check eBay if you're looking for a specific sold out item, but remember prices may have been pushed up on eBay
There you have it! Hope you've all had a successful Sale Shopping adventure!
