Would You Pay £79 or £99 for a jumper

[Caribeing]

Can't believe how prices have soared from the humble loaf to a bag of potatoes
but was in Marks Spencer today and they have ladies sweaters on sale for £79 and £99 they are cashmere but this is exhorbitant for a jumper. Will bargain hunt elsewhere.

[gingejbee]

That'll be acrylic from Primark, then?

[EcclesCake]

Yes I would and do pay that for a sweater and I'll happily pay more for cashmere.

Cashmere is a luxury fibre and bringing it into bargain hunting is a bit left of field IMHO.

I'm sure M&S has other sweaters at lower prices for you to choose from. I'm sure their cashmere range is there as an easy Christmas gift solution for those of little imagination.

[ladybirder]

Yes. But not from M&S.

[boxtops]

I would, if I had the money and I needed a jumper. Years back I used to be able to shop at Jaeger - their stuff was even then a good deal more expensive than that.

I get most of my clothes from the charity shops but I only buy 'labelled' clothes.
I bought a lovely Country Casuals jacket last week for £5.99 and will be picking it up from the dry cleaners tomorrow. It will have cost me £13.99.

I have a lovely Marks & Spencer suit which I bought from a charity shop. Bargain ! (No, I wouldn't buy the jumpers at those prices ! They will end up in the charity shop one day !)

Go to Oz and shoot dead a kangaroo. You will then have a jumper for free.

Good idea, eh?

[Caribeing]

No Primark we don't have one near us. I bought a beautiful cashmere pashmina from TKMax £15 it is 100% cashmere and not made in China

[boxtops]

TK Maxx is brilliant, I've had some lovely items from there, but you do have to search for them!

[Anngel]

No I would not. However cashmere is a luxury item and this is not expensive for cashmere. Incidentally JD williams have an offer at the moment for two jumpers for £22. With a further 10% discount...if you're interested.

[solvitquick]

It's not a bargain if you don't need it, whatever you are offered.

[Caribeing]

All jumpers end up bally!

[Tilly2]

bally?

[EDDIE51]

For the last 25 years I have never bought any new clothes .
Every thing I own has been either given to me as Christmas/Birthday presents of bought from a Charity shop. Usually I don;t even pay normal charity shop prices but wait untill they have a sale . Got an unworn M&S suit for £5 last week and 2shirts at £2,50 each all unworn and as new with tags. I can't understand how anyone has the cash to buy new stuff.

[ladybirder]

No they don't. Pure Merino wall doesn't.

[Tilly2]

I can't wear wool. It makes me itch. I always buy cotton jumpers but they're not very warm.

[Jumbo747]

Me too, Tilly! Horrid isn't it? But I have found I CAN wear M&S cashmilion which is wonderfully soft (and a bit cheaper than true cashmere).
