Q: How do I know it's a bargain? A: Do your research. Check prices in Xmas & A other stores, use comparison sites and only buy a sale item for a loved one - or yourself - if you know it fits or it will be liked. Q: Are the shops likely to cut prices at the weekend and is it better to hang on until then? Prices can go back up as last-minute shoppers are a captive market. And all the quality items may have been snapped up, leaving the duff stuff that will be discounted again for Boxing Day. Q: Will the person I buy a gift for in the sales be able to exchange it? A: It's always best to check the returns policy, as it varies. And some retailers will only offer exchanges or credit notes instead of refunds.
