Frenzied Christmas Shopping
I have just returned from a visit to my local Woolworths. Following announcement on the TV last night that there would be (up to) 50% off, I decided to see if I could find a few bargains for Christmas presents. The scene was shopping mayhem. The queue went up and down the shop and then back up again. People were throwing anything and everything into their baskets and the aisles were so chocca, you could hardly move. What bargains did I manage to get? Nothing!
The Nintendo DS games only had 10% off, the same as when I went two days ago. Almost everything I saw was 10% off with a few things at 20% off. My point is, that I have had it with frenzied Christmas shopping. The discounts are rarely as good as they sound, the things I want are always sold out and I am just no good in a scrum. So from now on all of my christmas shopping will be done online to the sound of calming music with a cup of tea in hand.
I have found the perfect present already for my husband. This Freshjive T Shirt that looks like a leather biker jacket is perfect.
