“This shop offers great discounts during the sales period,” points out Marine, a third-year law student at the University of Nice. Having spotted and tried on the clothes she liked before the sales, all that was left was for her to go to this lingerie store today for the first markdowns. Even though she doesn’t have a specific budget in mind for her purchases, she remains one of those who want to seize the best opportunities. “I don’t think about the budget at all. If I like something on sale, I buy it, and that’s it,” she explains.
Sylvie, 40 years old and a mother, shares the same view regarding any specially planned budget for the occasion. “I never plan a budget during the sales period because these are the only times of the year when I can put my desires ahead of those of my children and my husband,” she says with a broad smile.
As for Muriel, for her the sales are sacred! With a budget of 200 euros in her pocket, this 45-year-old woman even took days off to be the first in the stores. She left her job as a beautician to roam the aisles of various shops and find the best deals. “In this store, I didn’t find anything on sale that really pleased me. However, I am very happy with this dress that I bought for 59 euros instead of 79 euros,” she says.
So, for those who have not yet browsed the aisles of the stores in search of the deal of the century, one must hurry because the good deals never last long.
