<p>Still on the Blogmas spirit. I so much look forward to boxing day sales. Normally, I have lists of things I like to buy or simply names of people, whereby I will look at the names I will find something for them. Nonetheless, at times, I go beyond my list especially when I see something I consider very useful.</p>
<p>During Christmas, my 25th is basically go to church and have a good family meal. Then comes 26th &#8211; the sales, sales and sales day. In the last few years, I would queue up at Next as early as 6.30 am. Even at that early hours of the day I am like number 200 or something above that in the queue.</p>
<p>When I eventually get in, I would browse the entire shop for items that catch my eyes. It&#8217;s really fun to see those nice and expensive clothes, purses, gifts and kitchen wares reduced to lower prices. Looking at my lists, you can tell the things I normally go for. I do take my time and fill my shopping bag before the deselection process begins, when am done. Normally, by that time I am exhausted and cannot wait to leave the shop with my latest purchases.</p><div class="bUMTQzGx" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9851445956456483"

<p>However, lately I mainly buy online and will be doing same this year. I go to the shops later in the day or sometime in the week to see or pick a few good things remaining. Luckily, I live close to a shopping arena, where there is Primark, Next, Sports world and the rest of them.</p>

<p>My method of surviving the sales involves the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gathering items I like first.</li>
<li>Choosing only the ones I need &#8211; at this phase, after gathering and I drop so many items.</li>
<li>Checking my budget.</li>
<li>Scaling down further to make sure I do not spend more than necessary and giving priority to items on list &#8211; Guys, I lose a few items at this stage too. [I use this method online too].</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, if I mention lists a lot, I jot down almost any thing.</p>
<p>Finally, by the time am done, I leave the shop with the items I really need. There are a few exceptions to certain things that I see and find very useful even when not included in my list. I will like to know what works for you.</p>
