Today I went shopping and found that HMV have a great sale on. I bought Little Britain Series 3 for just £3 and The Simpsons movie is on sale for just £5!
Has anyone else found any great offers, whatever the country?

After Christmas, Just after New Years Eve, there are some great clothes sales =]]
Or whenever there is a new "occasion" for clothes stores to sell a new line- September, back to school/work or Summer, holiday season or Christmas, parties or New Year, parties...
Towards the middle-end of the season the shops start to lower the prices a lot so they can make room for the next season. And the next season comes out very early.
Therefore, I never buy seasonal clothes at the start of the "fashion season"- which is usually a few months before it is practical, anyway.
So buying a bikini a week before you go on holiday rather than in June when it is fresh in store can save a lot of money!
TK Maxx is a good store for cheap designer items...
Today I bought some really cute gel pens for £1 in poundland, hehe -cheapskate-
However, I also find paperchase has brilliant quality stationary for cheap prices.
I bought a thick bound notebook, with brown thick quality pages, to use as a journal/scrapbook, for only £3.99, when it would've been about £12.99 in HobbyCraft.
Plus, they have very cheap highlighters- and everything from there is adorable and doesn't have the same tacky quality as something from a "cheaper" shop might.

Hehe, I don't like buying clothes from shops like Primark or Poundland...
I prefer to spend more money on something that will last a few years since about 1 i n 3 pieces of clothing I got from those shops broke within a week XD
I like the special deals ^^
Sometimes you can even get multipacks of 12 crisps for £1!
( Although my friends complain they're out of date... psssht... who cares! it's only a few days... weeks... months?! )

Haha, don't worry! I buy stuff in poundland too!
My mum was once well chuffed when she bought a coat in a pound shop. It was a bit disgusting though in my eyes lol.
I love the offer in what might be Poundland, if not Poundworld, where you can get 4 cans for £1, or a mixture of cans, chocolate and crisps!

A girlfriend of mine sells designer labels like Dolce, Louis Vuitton etc. I picked up 3 really cute pairs of jeans, 2 purses by luis vuitton as well as some cute spring dresses along with some shoes and accessories so all together I bought 13 articles of clothings and paid $250 for them.
Over the weekend I went shopping with my mom. I picked up some guess jeans for $1.99 some really cute shirts for .99 as well as some new work out shirts and pants. The pants were $10 the tank tops were $5 and a jacket that you can make into a tank top for $15. I sure did clean up on some great deals over the weekend.

If you know American dollars we are pretty much neck and neck with them. Either above or below by .25. I thought I did really good with the designer labels as well they had the tags on them and everything. Good to know people in that line of business and she can get them pretty dirt cheap for me.

I love the new sports shop in town, because I go to the gym 4 times a week I need new gym stuff well I wanted to start with new trainers and so I went in and they were having a 70% sale, well I bought a great pair of comfortable trainers ideal for the gym only cost me £29! I should have brought two pairs looking back, one as spare, but I guess you don't think about it at the time. I am always searching for bargains, I tend to look online rather than buy cds from shops. I found HMV dear, I wanted series 5 of Bad Girls in HMV it was £35.99, I got it on line brand new for £12.99 go figure!

My favorite store was having their annual final sale on their winter clothes. I got a new top coat and a few new shirt and a new pair of shoes all together I paid under 200$ for everything, normally something like that would cost me more like 400$ or more so I cut my savings in half.
