I'm not going to bore you with all the Christmas sales insanity/mess that is occuring in the UK at the moment except that I found it a tad disturbing that a woman proudly holding five designer handbags she had picked up at Selfridges, fronted the pages of The Independent today.  Nevertheless, sale shopping is a chore that must be endured and investigated as I'm not about let a possible bargain slip away from me.  Especially when I have been eyeing up things for a good period of time now, example being these shoes from Kurt Geiger [1], all with a chunky cylinder heel and gold zip detailing.  Now the original prices all being in the £200 region were shockingly high.  This is Kurt Geiger, a high street shoe store, we are talking about and for the equivalent price, you could easily buy something a little more high-end.  Though the designs are indeed unique and quite a surprise for this shoe chain, I do wonder how people forked over the full wack price.   

Perhaps realising, they were being a tad too greedy, the prices have now been reduced by more than 50% and quite rightly so in my opinion!  Though by no means a bargain even after reduction, at least we're looking at something sensible.  Banishing silly inflated prices is just one reason why I'll have to work my way through a some sort of a sales strategy.
