Rebajas

Forget Christmas, the excitement for me was waiting for the sales! For a woman, nothing can compete with the feeling of running frantically around shops with bags full of bargains…aside from chocolate. Shopping in the sales is even better in Spain since clothes are already a lot cheaper. The only problem is that the Spanish seem to only go shopping during the rebajas, creating queues and crowds that are best targeted by experienced shoppers. One of everyone's favourite shops is 'Bershka', with a queue stretching all the way from the check out to the changing rooms! I discovered the best way to handle this shop:

• Take a shopping partner
  
• On entry, one person must join the queue
  
• The other person does a mad dash around the shop, similar to 'Super Market Sweep'
• Keep an eye on the queue- whilst grabbing as many practical bargains as possible.
• Do not try on your garments
