Hmmm! is that a con by Aldi?

All aldi shops get the same amount of products on the racks. Well if you want an item its a case of queing early. :-)

Why on *earth* would you want to queue to buy something?

You don't go to the Jan sales then MrHall?

January sales are somewhat of a con. If the goods haven't been specially acquired for the sales in the first place most high street shops overprice goods before Christmas to reduce them in the new year to make those who are always fooled believe that they are saving money.

If you shop around - mainly on the web - you can get the sale prices, or cheaper, at any time of the year.

Some are bargains some not. I bought 5 pairs of wrangler jeans in Jan at 9.99GBP, normally 24GBP

Plus-fours started to show off the varicose veins eh?

Good heavens no. These are just for items that the suppliers want to offload. I'd much rather figure out what I want, when I want it and then negotiate the best price. That way, I win all round.

No one haggles anymore. My local tool emporium doesn't even bat an eyelid anymore when I ask for trade or a discount, or for something free to be thrown in ;)
