I just paid £2.00 and my total saving on original price was £32.00

My mother complained that my father didn't understand bargains. If she had been shopping in the sales she might say "I have saved £5". His reply would be "Show it to me then" (meaning the saved £5). She would then have to say that she had spent all the money and he would comment that in that case she hadn't saved it. I think my father understood bargains only too well.

on a similar theme, I went into Claires Accessories to buy "tat" for my twelve yr old granddaughters birthday. All sale items were buy one get one free, so I spent £6 and got items worth £35. There is no way I would have spent that amount, she will be chuffed to bits with her treasures, and non the wiser that she has a cheapskate granny, so win win I think!

Might it possibly be bargain/shopping tips fatigue ?

The fascination with what someone else chooses to spend their money on is incredible.

I find it strange that I put information on this Forum about a bargain, no one has to read the information, no one has to go and buy the bargain, but men have to make a load of personal comments.
It's merely information, take advantage or not, but stop moaning.
I also note the great number of people who have read this posting already and wonder how many have been to Ciinton's ?? Probably the women who have read it, I think we are the ones that buy the Greetings cards in the main.

I haven't been to Clinton's in the past 5 years, firstly because I have never bought a Christmas card before December and secondly, Because I didn't know there was a branch of Clinton's in the Fethiye area.

It's strange how men don't understand bargains like us women do...

Oh yeah. it's great when Mrs KKOB tells me she's spent £80 to save £30.


it reminds me of this joke:

Lady: Do you smoke?
Man: Yes
Lady: How many packs a day?
Man: 3 packs
Lady: How much per pack
Man: £10.00
Lady: And how long have you been smoking?
Man: 15 years
Lady: So 1 pack cost £10.00 and you have 3 packs a day which puts your spending each month at £900. In one year, it would be £10,800 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: If in 1 year you spend £10,800 not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending at £162,000 correct?
Man: Correct
Lady: Do you know that if you hadn't smoked, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you smoke?
Lady: No
Man: Where's your ******g Ferrari then?
