Buying new household goods in the January sales?
Almost half of people (49%) admit they are prepared to
wait for up to three months to purchase household items in the
January sales – according to research by our Furniture & Electrical Stores.
Over half of people revealed that they waited to buy
items in the sales to be thrifty (63%) while 43% said they
wanted to spend more money on other items and 8% even revealed that
they waited because their partner wouldn’t let them buy the items
full price!
We're always looking for donations for our Furniture & Electrical Stores
Shockingly, 18% of
people even admitted that they
throw away their unwanted
furniture and electrical items after buying new goods!
Our Furniture & Electrical
Stores are calling on people to donate their unwanted
household goods after buying new items in the January
sales. Our Stores are always looking for donations of sofas, chairs, dining sets,
beds and wardrobes plus an array of electrical items including TVs,
Hi-Fis, washing machines, fridges and dishwashers.
Our Retail Director, Mike Taylor, said: “With so many
people buying new household items such as beds and sofas in the
January sales we know there will be a lot of unwanted items
around. It’s shocking that 18% of people said that they
throw out their unwanted furniture and electrical goods so we just
want to remind everyone that we’re always looking for
donations for our Stores and offer a free collection service."
