Summer Bargains

So today I got back to doing what I do best - Shopping for bargains!...
and I found some absolute gems - and made up for lost time.

I cannot emphasize how much I love the TU range at Sainsbury's.
I never used to go for Supermarket produced clothing, mainly because I was concerned they were made in sweatshops in the likes of India. I was also concerned about the quality.
I couldn't have been more wrong.

Alot of the clothing products in Sainsbury's are Fairtrade products - meaning that clothes produced in the Third world countries receive a fair wage for the job they do, which is fantastic.
I cannot fault the quality either - in fact, the Garments are true-to-size and are made to last - as proven with a pair of Skinny-Jeans I have owned for over 2 years and worn and worn and they still look new!

Today I went to Sainsbury's to have a look at the TU range, see if anything new had come in  - and it had.
Not only that, they had 25% off everything! Amazing bargains, especially when some of the things were in the sales too - So I was paying the likes of just £2.25 for a fairtrade top, How brilliant is that??

In total, I spent £75 on the TU range - it does accumulate quickly, but I love a good bargain.
But out of that I came home with 2 pairs of Jeans, a pair of Jogging bottoms, a cardigan, a crochet top, some new underwear and 11 different colour/style standard vest tops and t-shirts.
You go to a designer shop and you'd be lucky to be able to get 1 pair of Jeans only for that price.

Then, I got wind of a 'Sale' at Dorothy Perkins - Up to 30% off everything, Admittedly, I went on the website and saw that the things I liked mostly had just 10% off, but then I found a discount code for an additional 10% off - So the minimum I got was 20% off everything, which I think is fantastic too.
I easily racked up £85 on there too and am getting alot for that too, Denim skirt, 2 pairs of skinny jeans, a pair of denim knee shorts, pair of denim shorts, a cropped jumper and a bag. But I haven't been shopping in over a month, so thought, why not?

I budget relatively well for shopping, I never spend beyond my means (I used to, but am happy to say I am well out of that bad habit). So I decided to go for it, I probably won't shop for another month now, although I have seen a few things on the British Home Stores website that I like the look of, I need to take a few things back too and that totals just over £50, so I will just swap if they have them in store.
No more online shopping for now.

I have lost a bit more weight too (probably through heat and worry), so I am constantly having to update my wardrobe with better fitting stuff anyway, it's not an excuse - I admit it, I am a shopaholic and the majority of things I buy are not a necessity, but there is a method to my madness so to speak.
