RE: Just bought some B&M - interested to know what you guys think7 Aug 2020 10:28
@seamus12, I agree with shopping experiences. It's an excuse to get out the house and do something. But at the moment I've turned my back on the high street. This Covid is hitting it hard. Also, high street shops are too slow to move with the times and fasions. Some of the high street shops don't know follow fashion trends and still showcase the same clothes, even when they don't sell. Primark is one thats an exeption. Also, Primark has done well because its managed to keep prices down and tender to the masses. Masses bring in the money. Every time I've been to Primark its been rammed and they do sell some nice clothes. Some of the stuff looks real trendy although T-shirts can be a bit thin compared to more expensive brands, so less of quality material, but still, they last long enough. I bought some nice T-shirts the once to match my joggers. They were £2.50 each (on sale) so bout 5 of. My joggers were £35. But the colour co-ordination was perfect and sporty looking. I guess when it boils down to it, when times are hard, you have to save money. As for B&M, I was too hasty and didn't do the research. I thought it was a discount store. Really, I wanted to buy Poundland shares but I they're no where to be found. During this pandemic and a recession on the cards, I'm thinking discount stores would be a perfect punt. But B&M has peaked from the looks of it and I remembered why. I think its because people were going crazy for DIY stuff at the start of the pandemic, but now I've read into it some more, they're having stock issues in some places, probably because suppliers aren't open or because sales have dropped of. When you've done your DIY - there's no more to do. So I'm guessing its kind of a short lived thing.
