The Next sale is always an absolute bargain bonanza as shoppers clamour to get their hands on a bargain.
If you've long since had withdrawals from the Christmas sale, the good news is there's another happening. And the even better news is that's it's in the VERY near future. Every time the popular high street retailer cuts its prices, shoppers flock through the doors, intent on rifling through the rails to get the best discount.
Some stores open as early as 6am on sale days and, by the time their shutters go up, there are large queues of people lined up chomping at the bit to go shopping. Traditionally it's the Christmas and summer sales that generate the most interest and foot fall but, if you're looking to freshen up your wardrobe without breaking the bank, or looking to buy some clothes for your kids who are growing all the time, you're in luck.
