I think Christmas day online sales must have been a flop because I didn't see any adverts for Online Sales starting on Christmas day? M and S were closed Boxing Day as well, I haven't been online or in person, January sales are dead

If you have shopped did you get a bargain?

Not for myself but I recommended a good deal to Ness who is looking for a heated blanket. The Go Groopie Website.

M&S never open on boxing day going right back to my childhood. They wanted their staff to have 2 full days off. I wish others behaved the same way.

I stopped buying things in the christmas sales ages ago. The moment black friday became a thing, the christmas sales became pointless

I know you can get some good bargains…but can’t be arsed if I’m honest. Crowds/pushing/shoving…and sometimes it just looks like a jumble sale.

Not my scene…

I agree with you totally. You might rather look for bargains online Rusti, if you would like that. X

they are not sales

its stock they cant sell because it is overpriced initially and they "discount" it to the price it should have been

hideous that people have nothing better to do than go to the "shops"

Sadly not … amazingly 99% of the outside market was closed plus loads of town centre outlets


I remember one guy saying he made 90% of his annual profits between the 10th and 30th December so I expected everything to be open and vibrant

There must have been a period when they did, thought I was going mad so googled

Marks & Spencer will launch its post-Christmas Sale online on Christmas Day and open the majority of its stores at 6am on December 27 for the start of its Sale in stores.
The online Sale will start at 12.01am on Christmas Day. The retailer is offering savings of up to 50 per cent across most ranges in womens-, mens-, childrenswear, lingerie, home and beauty.

The post-Christmas Sale follows one of the retailer’s busiest pre-Christmas periods of promotional activity for years. It launched its first pre-Christmas Sale since 2004 in November.

the above was in 2008, the Christmas Day sale went on for a few years not sure when it finished
