Default Do they have big saile after xmas in oz?

We went and had a look around the sales yesterday (had to stop myself buying a lovely warm winter coat - it would be not good in oz) and I wondered if they have them in oz.

Ended up buying three cookbooks as one day im sure i will get to use them when the family decide to visit us in oz.

By the way has anyone else found it strange knowing that it will be you last xmas here, the last time you do this, the last time you do that etc, its driving me mad! Even my parents and friends have been saying it. I'm glad christmas is over now and we can get back to a bit of normality.

We sure do. Big stores in Sydney (David Jones, Grace Bros) started theirs about 8am Boxing Day, smaller stores started yesterday (27th).

Yes, the sales are on, as I had difficulty walking through the shopping mall yesterday, as it was completely heaving with people.

I have decided thats why the beaches are all deserted almost EVERYONE is in their local Mall.

Hi Mandy,

don't worry about there not being any sales in Oz. I lived and worked in Perth last year and I could not believe how many sales there were!

Myer, a big department store, had specials on for Father's Day, then they had the October Sale, then there were the Christmas Specials, then the huge Summer Sale which started on Boxing Day and lasted until the end of January, then the Valentine's Day Specials, then the Easter Sale,...

Stores like Kmart and BigW had weekly specials all the time and bigger sales regularly as well.

As far as clothing is concerned, I find clothing in Oz reasonably cheap. Clothing stores have sales as well.

So don't worry there'll be plenty of sales shopping in Oz!

Also depending where you are going to live in Oz you may well need that warm winter coat.
