Living...An Expensive Thing

So seen as though I have finally managed to get a day off work I thought I would take a well earned trip into Huddersfield Town centre to have a look round and get some important Christmas presents. Well I may as well have not bothered as the prices of near enough everything is just ridiculous. How these large stores ever make any sort of profit, or for the matter of fact any sales, is beyond me.

Designer clothes from stores such as BANK, Burtons, Topman etc have always been considerably higher as you are theoritically paying for the brand name but the worrying thing is other more basic clothes stores such as Sports Direct are getting the exact same way. I mean we all know the price of fuel, increase of VAT and other various factors all contribute to a price increase but not this much. Yet who blames them? They are still huge amounts of us who actually go ahead and take these overly priced goods to the till and spend our hard earned money on them! In my opinion its simple, if everyone refused to pay these prices then stores/brands would have no option but to either drop their prices to a reasonable amount or close down!

Our nation is full of people who lay down and daren't 'not buy' or say boo to a goose and its about time we changed. Why should us as consumers be intimidated by large multi-millionaire companies when they are much cheaper alternatives available at our fingertips via the internet & online shopping.
