There are a few tech brands and items that we’ve become educated about so we expect to pay full price most of the time, but when it comes to household things, appliances, clothes and accessories, the discounts are there, waiting to be had.
Where clothes and accessories are concerned there’s a short list of three things you should never buy in the sales, whatever the price…

It’s a fact that frequently you’ll spot something at a great discount in the sales and it’ll only be available in a size 8. If you’re anything other than that size leave it alone and go for something in your right size.

2. Don’t buy anything, luxury or otherwise, in a colour you don’t normally wear. Expect to find that dark purple cashmere blend coat in the cupboard in a few months/years time and rue the day you ever bought it. We tend to wear certain colours, colours that we know suit us. Don’t stray, particularly for a ‘too good to be true’ discount.

Look for brands that rarely go on sale such as Michael Kors – you’re more likely to find bargains online. And when you find something you love, grab it.
