Apparently Christmas shopping will be far cheaper this year. According to the Daily Mail on Saturday, many major retailers are set to slash their prices by up to 75%. So stores such as Debenhams, Miss Selfridge, Curry's and House of Fraser are reducing the cost of some of their popular items.
Hooray! As an impoverished student I was wondering how I was going to afford buying Christmas presents this year. Family and friends always seem to have great expectations when it comes to presents and I always spend far too much. I am certainly pining for my Marks and Spencer discount card this year.
Retailers are set to introduce massive savings and discount vouchers this weekend and promise to be the best bargains in over 30 years. In the present economic climate this move will undoubtedly be a welcome relief. Although, it is nothing new, shops have always had good offers to entice us in. Where would we be without the three for two offer in Boots?
As a self-confessed shopaholic I had noticed that Christmas stock this year is ridiculously cheap. Buying Christmas cards, wrapping paper and an advent calender for the dog won't leave a massive dent in your wallet.
I am tempted to be really thrifty (some may say cheap!) and buy all my presents in Primark and Wilkinson's. I asked my mum if she wanted some pyjamas from Primark to which she replied I only wear Marks and Spencer. That's £25 out of my budget then........
