Sales! Sales! Sales! 9 properly good bargains

Shop the best bargains of the season without leaving the house

We weren't part of the stampede in Brown Thomas yesterday. We didn't go near Arnott's either. If you weren't searching for something really specific and not prepared to get up the day after Christmas at 5 in the morning, the Stephen's Day sales are to be avoided. It's especially true when you can shop amaze bargains from the comfort of your own home!

Last year, I bought a Marc Jacobs bag in BTs a month after the sale started. It was more than half price and just sitting there. I spotted online and just walzed into the physical store on a random Tuesday lunchtime and that was that. But I could have just clicked a button.

I'm been listening to Christmas carols, drinking hot chocolate and browsing the sales. And there are some serious bargains out there. If you feel like a new bag or a dress to wer to all the spring weddings, look no further.
