Headline : Boxing Day sales: Shoppers flock to stores.
Excerpt from the Link "Shoppers across the UK have been descending on their High Streets for the annual Boxing Day sales.
Some had queued from the early hours in the hope of securing bargains."
My thoughts :
Im not one for standing inline outside Retail shops in the early hours , but I do look online in various places for some deals. 😄
Did you wait in the early hours for a shop to open or visited your HighStreet to get a deal ,or instead go online from the comfort of your home ?

Internet shopping...a great way to get rid of the nearly sell-by dates! Don't you miss the thrill of demolishing the display to get the goods at the back or lifting the trays to get the fresh stuff?
I bought milk today and rearranged the shelf for them....

What a load of rubbish @jonsie Sorry but it is....:smileytongue:
I have only once had something on its sell by date...rang Asda (in rottweiler mode) They refunded my money and delivery cost....and sent replacement goods on the drivers next run....
I have been shopping online for groceries since the service began..Asda and Sainsburys...Only that one problem in all those years...

I'm humbled by your experience. We only tried it once with Asda around 4 years ago and promptly took everything back, got a refund and a £10 voucher. Not a good experience and we vowed never to experience it again.

Humbled by my experience?? Good grief this is ME you are talking to... you berk! 
I am only telling you what I found...perhaps Coventry and Nuneaton Asda are superior to yours....
(or maybe I have a RED FLAG against my name...saying "Do NOT mess this order up")
