In the end I didn’t buy any more stationery today as I didn’t have time for my planned shopping trip, instead I got told that Comet were having a clearance sale and whisked off to it instead.
The offers were limited to 10% off on the items I was actually considering getting other than a few accessories at 15% off but a quick Google search showed that Staples were offering the items at a cheaper price. It is so hard to tell whether you are actually getting a good deal in the first place these days.
I had the same issue earlier this week when I have been debating over a new personal Filofax purchase…
A Slimline Cuban in Saddle Brown at £28 or a Chameleon in Black at £25?
Last chance to buy is now Sunday… will have to make a decision soon.
