BEWARE OF BARGAINS

Two thirds of female shoppers admit to making dud sale purchases. Almost a quarter of women buy items that are too small in the hope that they can diet into them, according to a survey by Harvey Nichols. The most common mistake eager shoppers make is not trying items on, resulting in a third (30 per cent) admitting their sale buys didn't suit them, and a quarter (23 per cent) saying they didn't fit.
