Buying In A Recession
We are constantly told that retailers are desperately trying to encourage us all to buy from their stores. We are bombarded with advertisements offering us great deals and bargain prices but the high street stores are facing not only the recession but also the rise of online shopping.
Having spent some time at the weekend selecting a suitable washing machine I was disappointed to be told that this particular model was not in stock and delivery might take several weeks. I left the store thinking I would try elsewhere but eventually returned home empty handed.
On returning home I did some research online and discovered, to my amazement, I could save around £70 on the cost of the same machine by buying online and have it delivered within two days which is faster delivery than was available from the retail store even if they had this machine is stock.
It’s hard to see how it can be possible for high street stores to cover the cost of managing their stores but still match such online prices. They have my sympathy but they won’t get my money and I will be buying from the site below and you might care to check the prices on offer yourself.
In the interests of being entirely open and honest, the ad above is an affiliate link and this site benefits from any purchase made following a click on it but the prices are exactly the same as if you went to the website directly.
