When silly season arrives at the beginning of the year, mad crowds, and sore feet?? To save all the aggravation follow a few of our tips to stay ahead of the game, but mostly save the tiring trek around town having to miss out on those bargains?
Tip no 1
Call your favourite store - the best bargains always seem to get snapped up in the first few days so call ahead to you're your selected store and find out if they still have what you want.
Tip no 2
avoid impulse buying, do your homework and find out the marker prices, from all the catalogues, and other stores on-line?
Tip no 3
if it's going cheap for a reason haggle - look for the clues which give away which items the stores most want to get rid of and then haggle?
Tip no 3
Large electrical appliance stores sometimes use a price code to secretly tell staff which product models need to be sold as a priority to make way for new stock. The key to this code lies in the last digit of a price.
If the price ends in an eight for example £19.98, it usually means the particular model has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
If the price ends with seven, the item is usually clearance stock, so ask for a further discount. Even if the goods are discontinued they'll still be under warranty.
Remember?
Don't just grab items because you think it's a bargain?
Last years shoppers bought at least 580million worth of electrical gadgets which ended up collecting dust?Know your rights
You can return sale goods? No matter what stores may tell you? Signs that say "No Return on Sale Goods" are illegal and shops should reimburse the amount you paid, not the lower price it dropped to later in the sale. When you pay sale goods, your legal rights are the same as when you pay full price?
This comes under the consumer statutory rights?

Are you sure it's a bargain?
Don't presume sale goods are always cheaper. As long as they have been a higher price for 28 days within the last six months, stores can get away with saying they are reduced. The other loophole they exploit is that goods might have been at the higher price only at another branch such as their flagship Oxford Street store.
Finally Keep within your budget and if you think you will be going over budget, then speak to your Bank Manager beforehand to arrange a sensible credit limit?
