      With the way things are going, people are saving every penny and awaiting the next crisis.

      There’s no public transport today, and any half-decent bar or restaurant is closed.

      Would make for a pretty bleak shopping trip compared to just scrolling for shit on my iPad with a glass of Sangiovese in hand.

      Same reasons as Black Friday; the general public know the game by now and aren’t interested in a “sale” that’s not *actually* a sale.

      Nothing is discounted anymore.

      They just raise the price by 20% and then give you that as a discount and belive people can’t tell the difference.

      Its not the same as it was 10 years ago when the supermarkets wants to sell the stock they have leftover from Christmas.

      Now its all meticulously calculated and there’s no excess and no discounts due to an excessive amount of leftover stock.

      As avid sales shopper, the “sales” were genuinely awful on boxing day this year. Retailers made it seem like the discounts were the biggest ever for the year, but they are marginally discounted at 10-20% at most and they have marked items down lower at earlier times of the year. Good deals on Boxing day are a thing of the past now.

      If every day is a sales day then the big sales day is irrelevant, retailers themselves must know that and it’s largely a silly media tradition to keep Boxing Day sales stories alive

      It’s odd people still fall for the sale scams and actually travel into the town centre, pay for parking and walk around aimlessly on fucking Boxing Day.

      Because we haven’t got any money anymore and all they sell is useless overpriced shite

      Out in London today. Almost zero decent deals to be had.

      Cheshire oaks seemed to buck the trend today, it was rammed!

      it’s almost as if people realised that boxing day sales are actually made up BS, and If you really want to buy something which one do you prefer: fighting your way through suddenly very spry 70+ year olds or buying it online with pint in your hand.

      I went to the White Rose Centre a few weeks ago in Leeds. It was 90% clothes shops and a few restaurants and a cinema. Oh and a couple of jewellers. Absolutely useless.

      The high street for me is dead. I buy stuff I need and nothing more. And I get the feeling I’m not the minority here. People just don’t have the money now to just burn it on pointless stuff.

      I walked along Regent St & Oxford St a few months ago and realised I’m not the target market for pointless designer stuff. I felt entirely out of place.

      Discounts arnt that good anymore. If they want to shift goods, give proper discounts that makes it worthwhile coming out

      I got up to go to the local M&S this morning for a few bits and bobs. Walked 10 mins down the road to the bus stop and decided to check the opening time on my phone while I waited.

      CLOSED.

      Might explain it in some part.

    15. Dark_Akarin on

      What sales, you mean the over or full priced goods that I don’t need?

    16. Average_sheep1411 on

      This is what happens when the disposable income gets kicked to shit for the last 4 years and you are an adult. You have to be responsible, it’s kind of I need rather than I want. I want some £300 boots I also need gym trainers and a new coat, so….

    17. Astriania on

      People who are actually looking for a sale know that the prices today are likely not any lower than they were on Black Friday, or in the new year.

      The retailers have really screwed themselves over with importing Black Friday, in my opinion. The people who want to find things in the sale used to take their mates or family out to the Boxing Day sales, but now they will have already been in November, so no-one is going on Boxing Day any more.

      It’s not a particularly good experience as other comments note, because public transport and half the shops and other services are closed.

    18. xander-mcqueen1986 on

      Not surprised. Sales absolutely shite, hardly anything knocked off to be classed as a decent saving.

    19. CDHmajora on

      Eh. I briefly looked online to see if any stores were doing discounts on any warhammer 40k stuff.

      Nothing. Not a single discount that didn’t already exist, or that wasn’t blatantly a lie (for example, why do stores keep saying a tank is £50+ and its on “sale” for £42.50… when its ALWAYS 42.50?).

      If no stores online storefronts are updating themselves with some sales. Why would i bother getting out of my comfy jammies in my warm toasty home, to go on a desolate high street with half the stores closed, just to see the same prices anyway?

      Tesco had already took down their Christmas stock this morning, even worse was it was all sat in their waste bin round the back, a lot of that food was still in date.

      It’s hard to get excited for Boxing Day sales when the retailer inflated the price for Christmas and is now discounting it back to the summer price..
