iangaryprice Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Most places seem to have permanent sales these days. Boxing day sales just seem to be an excuse to try and get rid of rubbish. I do need new new jacket and trousers, so i'll have a look to see if I can get a good deal. A trip to J&S at Delamere is likely, even if its only to get out of the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie man Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Nope not this year, I've too much gear already. We usually go on a Boxing day ride out, usually meeting up with the VMCC. Not been for a couple of years though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Frog Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Does anyone know if the sportsbike shop are having a sale? There may need to be a clothing purchase soon and I will want to save a bit of money ! Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Likely they will. Last couple of years I've bagged some great bargains in early Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that I keep looking for what I want and monitor prices, at some point the sale will appear. Often at unlikely times of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Whatever you do , spare a thought for the poor wretches who are forced to work on Boxing Day just to make ends meet . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Not to mention all those shops that will be open on the big day itself just to keep those greedy managers in brussel sprouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autotrader for private might also be a good move, sadly there's more than a few having to sell to free up funds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Years ago the boxing day sales had some real bargains. But now sales go on all year. I remember when I was a kid, massive queue outside shops waiting to open on boxing day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 The sad thing is these days is that what little sales there are start on Christmas Day with people having nothing better to do than shop. And we got suckered into that American idea of black Friday when most 'sales' are nothing of the sort. Just a gimmick to get people to buy things they don't really need. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
