New Year sales - complete rundown!
Bag yourself a bargain as high street stores slash prices for eager shoppers from today
You may have spent the last few months planning, shopping and spending on gifts for your loved ones leading up to Christmas but now the big day is over, what can you do now? Do more shopping of course!
Despite the recession, Britons love to shop and retailers have been getting in on the spending action by starting their annual post-Christmas sales with discounts as big as 70% off original prices.
With most online e-tailers starting their sales as early as Christmas eve, the high street stores are set to open their doors from today where bargain hunters can spend, spend, spend! If you can tear yourself away from the tin of Quality Street's and are able to (just) do the top button up on your trousers, today is the day to shop if you fancy bagging yourself a steal.
MFM have rounded up the best of the high street stores, complete with the date their sales start and what discounts to expect.
So, what are you waiting for? Get your vouchers/ gift cards and crimbo cash at the ready and shop till you drop! We'd love to hear what bargains you've bought - let us know below!
