    Advantages Advantages Get the most from Offline shopping

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Common sense required

    Many of us do not fully trust online shopping for all our requirements. Let's face it there are a number of flaws using the internet to buy things, some of which you may not have even thought of. 1) Are you absolutely certain that what you order is ever going to arrive? 2) Are you certain that what you order is what you will end up with if it does arrive? 3) Are you certain that the company you order from is not based in Outer Mongolia, and that you will be able to trace them if anything goes wrong? 4) Are you really going to be able to get your money back if there is a problem? 5) Do you like ... more

    5 Stars Save some money when you're shopping 11/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages These ideas could save you some serious money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to put a bit of effort in

    As I have already done opinions on saving money in the house, in the garden, on holiday and on your finances in general I thought that I would complete my efforts with my advice on saving money whilst shopping. Yes folks you don’t have to spend a fortune every time you go shopping! Most of my ideas focus on supermarket shopping so that’s where I’ll begin. If you’re out at work all day it is a good idea to go supermarket shopping in the evening. There are usually bargains to be had on fresh produce such as bread, as they have to destroy it if they can’t sell it so ... more

    Advantages Advantages Making the most of your money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Make take a little extra time.

    The cold snap has finally kicked in which means that Christmas is almost around the corner. For some people. shopping for presents can be more of a chore than a pleasure. I have worked in fashion retail now for nearly ten years, and i have to say that having the knowledge i have aquired over that time has helped me in my annual quest to find not only presents that the reciipients will love, but also help me to make the most from my moula. Of course a lot of it is common sense too, but for those of you who find the whole Christmas thing rather tiring, i hope my hinters will help you out a bit ... more

    2 Stars why are the childrens departments upstairs? 10/07/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages great selection for kids

    Disadvantages Disadvantages kids section upstairs

    I have a little girl who is now 19 months old. I love to get her shoes from Clarks because of teh expert fitting and quality of the product but not driving I have to take the buggy with me and in most of the stores in the West Midlands the childrens section is upstairs and there is no lift available so I either have to beg a busy assistant to help me carry my buggy upstairs or go elsewhere. This is not the only store where this has happened to me. I think that if a department store has spent somuch time designing beautiful accessories for children it would be great if we could gain access when ... more
