Couldn’t be bothered. Overhyped, regularly priced leftovers at so called ‘sale’ prices.
To be honest, I’d prefer to be able to have the heating on for a bit longer anyway. |

"I did buy head phones that i have been eyeing up for a while. They were 35% up and have gone back to full price today. I felt successful there haha."
That's a good saving.
We got something as a gift for someone with a fair bit off as well as what I bought. |

"It's a con, there's very few actual bargains to be had."
I agree, some of it can be - depends on how gullible the advertisers think we are and consider other factors.
I managed to save at least £40 on a Radley watch and £100 on a Michael Kors hand bag, £80 on x2 100 ml bottles of Paco Rabanne "Invictus" mens EDP fragrance - all crimbo gifts so I'm delighted. |

I still can't believe people think they've saved money when in fact they've spent money.
If you paid £80 for something that's usually £100, you definitely have not saved £20. You have spent £80 and saved zero. |

Well in that case they’ve spent less then they normally would have, if it was an item they were going to buy anyways. |

I bought a mattress that was needed and had been in my basket for a while, got £30 off then an extra reduction with a discount code.
Was hoping to get a pair of boots that I also need but haven't found any that I like. |

I saved money to buy what I needed. It was for sale at £100 less than it previously cost, I was going to buy it anyway ergo I saved £100.

In my experience a lot of people use that as an excuse when they can't really afford it. |

They do but those of us who bought something we were intending to buy anyway do understand basic maths  |

Precisely. I bought a lot of my regular things Which were on offer. Just brings the purchase date forward that's all. Its not all bad.

A saving is a saving if you planned to buy the item and then found out it was reduced. |

Some of us have to keep the country going.
If you wanted to buy something, and you got it the sale, and were going buy it anyway, you've spent less than you would have spent. We're all grown ups. |
