This year I will have the opportunity to go to any Boxing Day sales that might be on.
I have never been before.
Are they really worth it? Or can you get just as good bargains when they do a clear out before school starts?
If they are worth it, which sales do you go to?

[Pearson]

yes, and no. I find if you are looking for specific things, you will generally find a bargain.
eg, homewares handbags etc.

You can get extra good specials, but these are never guaranteed.

Myer, DJ's and your specialty stores are always good.

TBH I find that like the half yearly sales they are bringing out super old merchandise or specially brought in merchandise to sell rather then reducing the price on current items.

[jayskette]

Not worth it any more as the sales start the week BEFORE Christmas these days

[gettheetoanunner...]

Usually I'm getting mother-induced twitches at that time of year, so the last few I have loaded her up with cash and send her off on a manchester hunt.

She is also good for kids gear.

She lives in DJ's at this time of year and always gets a bargain.

I'd rather lick toads, but she loves it and I get some peace.

Win/win.

I find that Myer and DJ's do % off in lead up to Xmas which is just as good if not better than what they do on boxing day,

[*melrose*]

nope they bring out all the old stock not worth it!

[SkyeMummy]

Thanks, don't think I'll bother, put my time to a better use!

They were better a few years ago - now I found the sales pre-christmas are jsut as good, but end of season sales are even better, especially for clothes & swimwear.
