what is it with post xmas sales?

all that shopping b4 xmas....then BAM!! every where has a sale
isnt every one shopped out already

my boys are out shopping now...no way u'd get me near the shops today
i have 2 days off 4 xmas...and im going to enjoy them

am i missing a shopping gene, or has 20 yrs in retail got rid of the shopping 4 me.

okay...rant over...back to normal programming

I cant get over the idea of how much they mark up items in the first place.

I'm doing the after xmas sales but it's mainly for wrapping paper, bags and ribbons. Shopping is different when you dont HAVE TO do it. It's much more relaxed and less frantic. And you can save quite a bit if you look in the right places.

I am also big on buying wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, and decor after christmas. Most stuff is at 75%off!!

I would have thought that was impossible.

Was that over the top?

good one!

I mean the pasteurised kind from a carton!

well, i was back at work on the 27th, and had to shop in my lunch hour

but it was for a good cause, a friend had a baby girl 2 days b4 xmas

i loved shopping for pink things

maybe my shopping gene has been lying dormant all these years

I just scored 300$ worth of new clothes for 109$

but did you really need them

ZombieKitten said:

Yes - in fact I did ! I very seldom shop for clothes for myself

I owned 1 pair of jeans until I bought myself another yesterday for 60% off

Mach said:

good job!

how long should I expect before the furore dies down at the mall and I dare venture there again
