Here To Help Beat The Crunch
HIGH STREET stores are offering the biggest-ever pre-Christmas bargains in a desperate bid to beat the recession.
Cash-rich shoppers can save hundreds of pounds today as a host of sales start earlier than ever... Debenhams are offering 60 per cent off furniture while Laura Ashley, Homebase and Sofa Workshop are all lowering prices.
John Lewis - which traditionally doesn't cut prices before Christmas - is giving £50 off if you buy a washing maching and tumble dryer. WH Smith are slashing top-selling books by up to 60 per cent.
A Black and Decker drill set has been hammered down from £70 to £35 at B&Q. Currys are selling a 32in digital TV for £599 from £750 and Woolworths have cut a Playmobil police boat from £19.99 to £9.99.

Re: Credit Crunch Christmas (25 days)

Chirtsmas is coming, the bills are growing large,
We're all using credit, with no thought for hidden charge.
Christmas is coming, there's so much more to get
Every-one is spending, so let's take on some debt.
Christmas is over, nothing more to celebrate
Just a lot of growing credit and some heavies at the gate.


The average adult spends £863 extra at christmas.

Food & Drinks £163
Giftwrap, cards and postage £53
Christmas tree and Decorations £64
Socialising (dinner, theatre, cinema, panto etc) £121
Travel £84
Presents £378



A typical story......

'One year, when I was working at a restaurant, I borrowed some money and went mad at Christmas buying my daughter everything she wanted. It took nearly seven months to pay for it all. In the end I couldn't afford to take her anywhere on holiday the next summer. Most of the presents ended up gathering dust under the bed'
