Clothing sales tips
- Check favourite shops a couple of weeks before the sales begin to check the items you have your eyes on. Try them on and get a feel for the fabric, so when the sale starts you won't be wondering about sizes and can buy straightaway.
- Don't go to the opening day of a sale. Most stores implement price cuts in four stages, with further reductions each week.
- Most retailers start their sales earlier online, so keep an eye on websites.
- While you may be able to return a sales item, you will usually only be refunded the sale price.
Other tips
- Don't forget to write a shopping list beforehand. A bargain item is money wasted if you do not use it or wear it when you get it home.
