I thought I would share the conclusion to my little shopping spree from the other week when I was buying clothes for work.
Whilst in M&S I spotted a suit that I quite liked that was on display. After hunting around the area I couldn't find any similar so I asked an assistant. She replied that they had been moved to another part of the store because they had a sale starting the next day and they would be in it. I don't like sales, there is never anything I want in my size, but she said, you should reserve the suit, and then pick it up tomorrow and you will get it for the sale price, even though its not marked down yet.
Anyway, I looked, but alas there were none in my size. "Don't worry!" said the assistant, "we can order it for you in your size!"
So, I managed to pick up the trousers before my holiday, and was quite chuffed to find that they were marked down from £25 to £12. However, today I picked up the jacket. It had been reduced from £39.95 to £5!!!!
A whole work suit for only £17.00!
Lets just say that I will be buying new (non-work) shoes with the money I have saved!
