    Are the shops open on Boxing Day?
    Just wondering, will shopping centres like Southampton and Fareham be open tomorrow?
    And will the sales have started?

    Yeah, the majority of the shops will be open. But when I went shopping on Boxing Day last year, the town was pretty empty and lots of the shops were closed - maybe more shops are opening this year or something :/

    I went in bright and early last year on boxing day for the sales
    Woke up early, hung over as anything got into town 7am and it was deserted, none of the shops opened until 10!!! And even when they did open the sales were shocking

    So just a warning, you should probaly call the shops in the morning to check their opening hours and what kind of deals they got cause I wasnt impressed last year

    I know down Oxford street Selfridges is, but then John Lewis isnt...so its a bit of a mix and match.

    Are the sales even thatt good? good being at least 30-40% off, none of this 10-20% :santa2::santa2::santa2::santa2:

    We girls LOVE a good bargain!!! There is nothing better than coming home with bags full of clothes/bags/accessories/shoes/makeup that cost you less than a third of what it would if you'd bought it before the sales...

    I know some places are open tomorrow but I always thought most waited till the 27th?I don't like it when shops start sales on Boxing Day as thats still a big family day for my family so no shopping allowed. I suppose this year though I'm not too bothered about sale shopping. Starting to realise that I'd rather not waste money on rubbish impluse buys that aren't actually that great.
