Just wish sometimes I had the discipline to save some money for the sales. Like most, I tend to spend silly money in December (average family spending in UK is over £800 - mostly on rubbish). And I am VERY average in everything.

Then when you can buy a 40" 3D HD etc TV in January for £49.99 - guess who can't lay their hands on £49.99. :-( :-(

Never queued up overnight for a sale, but have slept on the pavement overnight to get a mortgage. Does that count?

We think that its too easy to get caught up in Sale Fever so you end up buying something you don't really need or want just because it's going cheap. If you really need an expensive item- furniture, electronics, white goods- go with an open mind. They aren't normally all snatched up in the first 10 minutes.
