Clair Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The sales are not as defined as they used to be and shops are now allowed more leeway than they used to have.Details: http://www.service-public.fr/actualites/001211.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgit72 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Oh dear, I do hope this isn't a first step to going the way of the UK where you have Summer and Winter sales, Spring and Autumn sales and more recently, the bit between Winter and Spring sales etc etc........ and you finish up with not knowing what is the normal price and what is the sale price.

The promotional offers can be worthwhile and we have bought a number of items from places like Bricomarche from their promo leaflets but I think the real bargains are to be had in the Summer and Winter sales, particularly clothing and shoes. I shall just have to be patient I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Destocks isn't open again until August. Did get some bargains last month they had the contents of a stationers shop. I got double sided tape dispensers for 60 cents each instead of over two euros each - I bought the entire stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola2 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 [quote user="Dog"] I got double sided tape dispensers for 60 cents each instead of over two euros each - I bought the entire stock.[/quote]I'm having difficulty envisaging a double-sided tape dispenser. All the double-sided tape I've ever used had a peel-off backing, revealing the second glue-face. Is this this year's must-have gadget? Pray enlighten soonest!

Weedon Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Pop down to Noz in Mayenne as they have nose hair clippers that also trim the ends off cigars. I don't actually smoke but am thinking of it now in order to make the most of my purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbles Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 If they're really cheap I may buy two pairs - one for my nose and the other for my cigars - seems more hygienic somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
