I just thought it woule be good to post any on-line bargains we have found so others can take advantage of the great offers out there. So post a link it would help if you could add info about sizes as well.
So there's this shirt on Jigsaw for £29 in all sizes up to 18

Trisher, good post - maybe febrile consumerism was posted (by someone who hasn't found anything online) to make those of us who have bought lovely bargains feel a little guilty ?

petra that's a lovely coat and so reasonable! The ones I have hanging in my wardrobe aren't getting worn much just now, I seem to wear the same old one whenever I go out for a walk.

House of Fraser on-line have men's brand name polo shirts £4

Karen Millen some good sales too

My friend said internet shopping is fraught with disappointment! I like to see, feel and try on.
So no shopping at the moment till the shops reopen.

Lovely shirt trisha I would have been sorely tempted but I have 2 very similar.
I haven't bought much in the past year but I can't resist jackets and coats. This is my latest.

I ordered dresses from Joules sale. They turned up, it was all flimsy, cheap creased fabric. Very disappointed.

Did get some nice Rally trainers from Fit Flop though.

I couldn't buy that shirt because if I went to the supermarket they would scan me! I love Hotter shoes but all sold out in my size :-(

pamdixon Wed 20-Jan-21 11:54:52

wow-loved that shirt! I wonder if I'd be brave enough to wear it................tempting I have to admit!

Having unearthed linen (laying out?) sheets from my grandparents, I put them on my bed - not a very good fit, but so lovely as I find cotton too cold and flannelette too warm. I have treated myself to a pair of French linen sheets from Soak & Sleep; not cheap even in their sale (final week now) but bliss.

Trisher - hope no one is suffering from a fever!
Boot.com have got good reductions on soap and hand-gel at the moment. You can tie it in with a £5 voucher in Saturday's Mail too.

Hope I'm not encouraging "febrile consumerism" but this is a good time for bargains and you can claim to be helping support the economy! grin

bridie54 Wed 20-Jan-21 10:32:28

Well, I loved the heads up for the Hotter sale and just ordered myself a pair of tan ankle boots. DH doesn't know it yet but he bought them for my birthday. Now to see if I can find a tan shoulder bag. Like many other GNERS I like the shirt but it wouldn't like me.

trisher Wed 20-Jan-21 10:31:57

Alioop I heard this was happening and wondered about it. You must be really fed up. It's really unacceptable!

Alioop Wed 20-Jan-21 10:28:59

Saw a lovely coat, thought about it for days and decided to treat myself. Went online to order it and the company have currently stopped delivering to N.Ireland. Bloomin Brexit!!

Nannapat1 Wed 20-Jan-21 10:26:07

Thank you Trisher for the tip. The shirt wasn't for me but I just ordered two other items from the sale, excellent reductions.
Joules sales are good but invariably the size I want is out of stock?

curlz Wed 20-Jan-21 10:11:32

Brandalley have some really good reductions if you trawl through ?

Barrygirl Wed 20-Jan-21 10:06:02

At the beginning of lockdown I did a huge clothes sort and was shocked at the number of clothes I had so I swore that if I bought any new items over the next year (March to March) I would donate the same amount to charity! Well, I have donated much more to charity than I have spent on clothes. Since March I have bought one "hoodie" from a sight raising money for the Arts and six pairs of socks - destined for a Christmas present but snaffled by me. I am so happy that I have lost the habit - not that I was an avid clothes buyer before. grin

In the past year I've bought some lovely tops (yet to be worn!) from Desigual. No problem with returns and refunds until the most recent one which I tried to send post Brexit. As they go back to Barcelona it was unclear whether UPS would accept it without a commercial invoice. In the end they did but I'm still waiting for a refund. Not the biggest problem thrown up by Brexit but annoying none the less.

Lots of nice dresses for half price on Whites Stuff website.

Horatia Wed 20-Jan-21 10:00:59

I've got 4 or 5 pairs of beautiful brand new trousers hanging in the wardrobe unused I've been meaning to lose a few pounds to fit into again (for a few years now) and actually gained weight. If anyone knows of any cheapish wool/wool blend trews in the sales size 14 I could wear in the meantime please let me know. Is it just me or do others find they become so fond of certain items of clothing and shoes it's a wrench to part with them?

FranA Wed 20-Jan-21 09:46:02

Some lovely clothes but the 3 things I looked at only had the smallest sizes left. I love looking at the brochures they put out but have never bought anything from them yet.

Nanna58 Wed 20-Jan-21 09:45:08

M&M direct have some good reductions, got a waterproof Tresspass running jacket ( I know, Covid has made us do strange things!!?) down from £70:to £ 29.99

Aepgirl Wed 20-Jan-21 09:45:06

Lovely shirt if you're 'tall, young and willowy' - not ideal for short, dumpy and 76.

StephLP Wed 20-Jan-21 09:40:58

I think it's a lovely shirt though I doubt I could get away with it.
