It seems that if you want to get the BEST deals in the whole year, in Christmas-celebrating countries, then do your shopping on January.

My friends has confirmed that indeed on January his sales dropped to a very dangerously low level. This is probably due to most people’s spending ability already spent and exhausted on Christmas.

Just look at the following crazy deals I encountered when I was casually strolling on Birmingham’s city center, with no intention to do any shopping:

Women’s boots for only 5 pounds (about Rp 90.000 !)

I was not able to resist this one though ! One pound for a book ?? I ended up buying some…

Owh… I hurt myself with my overloaded baggage, filled with these books (among others). Must - not - visit - Birmingham - on - January …..
