Times are hard. Money is tight. So now’s the time to spend more cash.

It seems that the rising cost of living and increases in interest rates have forced retailers to dramatically reduce prices and plan for long term discounting to lure us back to the cash registers.

DESPERATE retailers are slashing prices to the bone at mid-year sales starting today in an effort to lure spending-shy shoppers into their stores.

Despite news that retail sales rose in April for the second month running, the deep discounts are set to continue all the way to Christmas. –

I feel for the retailers, I really do, and I’d love to help them out, but rather than being enticed by shiny things I don’t really need at lower than normal prices, I think I might just try to concentrate on putting food on the table for my family.

I think I’ll just have to ask them to get back to me when they’re offering everything free.
