Sky News[1] says shoppers are expected to spend £12bn in just four days as
they make the most of slashed prices and promotions, according to retail
forecasters. There’s going to be a big battle both on the high street and
online.
About three-quarters of retailers are now offering deals and 13m people
are expected to shop on the high street today, the last Saturday before
Christmas, with many having finished work for the festive season yesterday.
Clothing, fashion, jewellery and lingerie are always popular.
People are becoming more canny though, waiting for the sales and hoping
the items they’re after are going to be reduced. In larger stores which stock
many of each size and design, that’s possible but in independent boutiques like
Get Waisted in Steyning and Brighton, it’s a different story.
If you’ve been window shopping recently or popped in and seen something
you love, as we have room for a bijou selection of unique clothing and
accessories, you might be disappointed if you think they’ll still be there for
you in a few days.
We’ve all done it – we think we’ll grab
a bargain when the sale starts but only found the few items the gannets have
left when we turn up. Instead of hoping for the best and taking the risk of
getting what you want, we say that our clothes and accessories are good value
to start with and as you certainly won’t see them anywhere else on the high
street, you’re getting a great deal anyway!
We’ll be open today, tomorrow and
Christmas Eve until 2pm so there’s still time to pop in to say hello and look
at the wonderful display we’ve put on just for you.
Meantime, everyone at Get Waisted
wishes you a sparkly Christmas and fun-packed New Year.
