I went to Kohl's dept store yesterday,,bought new sheets,wash cloths,2 pairs of winter gloves
Do you buy much online?
Do you prefer to shop in the brick & mortar stores...?
Did you recently get a great bargain, or feel you've paid too much for something ?
Come and share what you've bought in either ....
This week we bought a new Electric telescopic Pole tree saw.. .. which arrived today..alongside a gallon of oil for it..
Still waiting for half the order to arrive even tho' we paid for a specific date for delivery
see in the news today a whole bunch of Debenham stores are to close this year. Our nearest one will close in 2 weeks... such a shame !!As said in my Quote I do like to go to the shops on the high street to browse and feel and chat to sales staff...when you can find one as they have cut back on shop staff here in the UK. with popular outlets shutting down permanently. I cant believe its all due to shopping online and other factors like the general market trends and also bad management are some reasons

Yes I knew about C&A there one in the Mall nearest us at our second home in Spain... I often buy stuff there...Yes, I knew about these closures as the one near me has closed sometime ago. No more Blue Cross sales☹
Did you know that C&A are thriving in Europe? I still miss that once popular store and their Canda fashions. I still have a faux fur short jacket and a champagne colour and not worn it for years but I wore it over Christmas and my 19year old GD at Uni loved it and said "Nan you look great!" and she meant it.

I got 2 really nice summer tops from there in June ....
This store is in the Costa Del Sol where my daughter lives , and we have one in the Costa Blanca where we have a second home.
Yes there was that rumour about British workers being a pushover etc and that being the reason for C&A closing here and not elsewhere...but C&A deny it.
They say it was because here in the UK unlike other European countries they had to compete with new stores selling clothing..a swell as M&S, BHS, John lewis etc, there was cheaper clothing stores opening New look, and Primark, and all the supermarkets were selling affordable clothing, which doesn't happen too much on the continent, except for huge superstores like Carrefour but ordinary supermarkets like mercadona don't sell clothing, like Tesco and Sainsbury etc does here.. .. so simply put, Coats and 'ats as they were affectionately known, couldn't compete ..
I love Klass, but they only have outlets in the garden centres here..so I have to drive over to north London every few months to the garden centres to get stuff, when the sales are on..I can see this being possibly true in the UK. I like Roman Original Fashions and Autonomy and Klass but note these stores are diminishing in one shopping outlet near me and been taken over by newbie like Fatface for one and others and they all sell much of a much clothing and fashions and aimed at the younger generation.

A new kitchen trash can.

I like the idea of that sheet Blanket. I get too warm at night I could do with one of those, wonder if I can find any here in EnglandI bought a sheet blanket for my bed. It is two heavy weight flannel sheets bound together like a blanket. Perfect for Florida winter nights. That and a top sheet for warmer nights and comforter folded at bottom of bed to pull up when cooler. Bought mail order from Vermont Country Store
