Do you like to shop more during sale? Why and Why not?

Hi Vathsala, Thanks for your response. I am sure there will be some real good bargain around when come to sale. I think sale of 60% to 70% off is a good buy. I buy my bedsheets set during sale. It is about 60% off . I don't see there are selling old stocks for the bedsheets. In fact, I can recognize the bedsheets was selling there 2 month ago. Sometimes, there is some new arrivals so the 2 months old stocks are getting sale so it can be move out faster. If happen I buy the bedsheets 2 months ago at normal price, I think it is very unfair for me when it comes to sale of 60% just in 2 months time.

Hi again, Yeah, 60% off is indeed a good buy. They do this way. Once they have a new design arrival, there will have the previous month stocks on sale. If happen it is the presale ( first day of the sale), it actually selling at 60% +10%. Hence I always get mine on the presale.

If you get 60% sale just in 2 months time then it is defenitely a good bargain.

Hello Celineml, welcome to Mylot! Glad that you like shopping! Yeah , you are right, I believe every mummy will shop to their children more than themselves. What you like to shop for your baby? When it comes to sale, it is really a good bargain to shop for kids. As normal we don't worry kids to wear off season cloth. I like to buy cloth for my daughter. I just see girls can get to have more clothes than boys as girls is more vain! LOl. I like to shop for some brands like Poney, Kiko, Gap and Osh Kosh! These brands give great bargain when sale. What brand do you like?

Hello gr8life, No doubt shopping during sale need more patient and time. More ever the malls seems to be crowded and the queue at the cashier counter is very bad. How about the traffic and parking bay? If there is a real sale in the department store, especially on the first day of the sale it tend to attract more shoppers. Once in a year certain department will have its member's Day sale for its fellow members. I like to shop on Member day because it is a real bargain,

Hello Angelajoy, Thanks for your response. Yes, true enough! Deep discount sales are designed to get products moving at the end of a season to save the retailer money, as shelf space and even warehouse storage space are premium real estate and cost the retailer more money. So shoppers need to beware to check which is having the great deals and don't go too excited when get to see the big sale or big clearance banners.

Hello cwong! Thanks for your response! I can see almost all the women like shopping! More ever women go crazy while sale or clearance. LOL. But man like shopping too? Sad to say my hub is not fancy in shopping at all. For me, I will stock up like you too if there is a real and big bargain around. Just few months back Isetan is having a promotion for a disposable diapers. It sells much much more cheaper than usual... So I did stock up a dozen at home too. And I am kinda excited since last week when I received the latest newsletter from Isetan. go through the newsletter again and again so I wouldn't miss out any good bargain. I even circled the stuff that I think of want to buy... Tomorrow is Isetan Member's day! Hurray! It is the once a year sale and everything is selling cheaper than normal sale. Even the baby formula that my kids taking is on sale too. I think I will have a big hole in my pocket tomorrow!

Hello Feodda, Thanks for your response. I admit I love to shop more during sale ! If the sale is a real sale. you can actually get to save a lot. Just 2 days ago there was the member's day sale for Isetan here at my city. This is the sale that held once in a year. Members of Isetan get to join the sale only, no outside shoppers. There are certain on sale items that very worth to buy. More ever members get to receive additional discount of 20% more. I did go to the member day sale and it took more than half an hour for me to get a parking space. The whole store is full with people. It really need more patient to get change at the fitting room, queue up at the cashiers. If you are late, most of the good bargain would gone. I bought a shoe rack for $10 and the normal price is $20. I bought some clothes for my kids which is 70% off.

Wow... That's a big savings already.

Hi there, Thanks for your response. In fact, I am not the type of frugal shopper. If I want something badly, I will too go for it without getting it during sale. One of my dear friend don't like to shop during sale. She said all the sale items especially clothes are pass season products. But for me, I don't bother about the season of clothes as long as it is nice fit well on me.

Hello Ibuemma, Thanks for your response! It is true, we have to know which one that really a great bargain. I would say not all the retailers provide a real sale for shoppers. So please shop wisely. For me, I always say there is a different between sale and clearance. So how to shop during sale and clearance is very important. Firstly, most of the sales are simply done to generate hype for a featured item and convince the consumer to buy, but the savings are often minimal. 10 to 20 percent off is really not a bargain at all, but 40 percent off or more can be a great deal for an item that you need. Any how shopping during sales and clearances is an excellent way to save money on the items you need and splurge on the items you want, minus the guilt.
