Seizing the Christmas Period: A Holiday Sale Like No Other!

When it comes to holiday deals, one shopper took "stocking up for the season" to a whole new level, turns out, some Christmas sales are truly period-specific!


The Most Unexpected Christmas Sale, And One Shopper Who Knew Exactly What to Grab!

It was one of those busy Christmas shopping days when the bus was full of people with bags galore. But one passenger really stood out, her bags were stuffed with sanitary products, overflowing with boxes and packs for feminine hygiene.

I couldn’t resist asking, "What’s with the bulk purchase?"

She grinned. "It’s the chemist’s Christmas sale! Best deals of the year. I’m stocking up."

I raised an eyebrow, a bit taken aback. "Uh, didn’t realise they did sales like this for Christmas."

Amid the holiday hustle, one shopper’s clever approach to the Christmas period proves that some deals truly can't be missed, no matter how unconventional the haul!

Strap in: the 21’s a marathon ae schemies, seagulls, prams an’ patter. This yin’s a journey through aw the layers ae Edinburgh, frae sterile hospital corridors tae Niddrie chaos tae Porty chips tae Leith pish alleys tae Clermiston hills tae Clovenstone carnage.
