The summer sales are still going strong, but we're really not.
In fact, it's making us seriously debate ever doing it IRL again with the comforting bosom of online shopping so easily accessible.
But sometimes those high street deals seem too good to resist and, like moths to a heavily discounted flame, we keep going back with the hope that maybe, maybe it will all be different this time.
Here are 13 truths about the sales that brave shopping souls can relate to:
1. You openly admit you hate it...
2. But you're really pretending because you've been waiting for this moment all year...
3. Unless you work in retail, in which case it's the bane of your entire life...
4. Because no one wants to watch their carefully arranged displays get chucked on the floor in front of them...
5. You have to mentally prepare yourself to venture down to the high street...
6. And when you get there you have a moment of instant regret...
7. Seriously, where did all these people come from...
8. And when did everyone get so... elbow-wy?
9. Finding something you like in your size feels a bit like striking gold...
11. And sends you into a bargain hunting frenzy...
12. Until you see the jeans you bought last month at 50% off...
13. And vow to never sale shop again.
