So much for christmas bargains
Seems the shops are up to their fake sales and underhand price hikes again this christmas.
 Just 2 items I've wanted to buy today, but both gone up. Could have got an Ipod nano last week for £99, now its £115, same shop Also, wanted an 8gb USB stick, it was £14 in the summer, now its on offer at £16.99 Whats the betting there will be massive pre christmas price drops in the next few weeks, i.e. back to November prices |

Re: So much for christmas bargains
It's like the VAT - they have it set at 15% just now....but in January it's going back to 17.5% but in the meantime, they have put the gross prices of everything up so we are really going to feel it come January!

Re: So much for christmas bargains
Last christmas i told the very few people i was buying gifts for that i'd be buying them in January. Such a joke the way they play with their prices.
