Sales period started yesterday in Spain. I don't know if it's a worldwide phenomenon or if it's something that only happens here, but people usually goes nuts the first day. Then, during the following weeks they seem to forget about discounts. On first day all I see are huge queues on specifical stores and brands, crowds in the main streets (although lately I've seen very few of these) and totally razed stores.
Why?! I don't think they've looked for any SUCCESFUL-SHOPPING IN SALES guide. Want to take home the best bargains without ending like the girl from ''Confessions of a Shopaholic''? I wrote some time ago a post about fashion on a budget, but today I want to share with you some tips about how to beat the sales period.

- Some days before sales start, grope the ground. Go for a walk around your favourite shops or shopping centres, also take a look on online stores. Write a list of things that you like or might be interesting, but do not buy anything!
- Stop for a moment and think carefully. Of all the things you've listed above, what do you really need? Or you'll shop something just because it's a punctual whim? Will you wear what you're planning to buy?
- Set a budget.
