Aberystwyth News

This is the year which most counts in my life and if I don't get it right then it can go really wrong, this I am talking about A Levels final year, and ongoing from that choosing your university. As a good thing to do to be that little bit organised is going to a few university open days. A couple of weeks ago my friend was going to Aberystwyth Uni and as he offered if I wanted to go I said yes.

Summary. The University site was very nice, the course wasn't the right one for me and that is a big shame. But anyway to make the most of the day me and my friends went down into Aberystwyth town (which didn't take that long to look around).

Well as we were looking around on the sea front we came across this news sign in a Window of office license shop (sort of), and came across this,

Well I think this just shows what there is in Aberystwyth. After a bit of research and 79p down in my bank, I did find out that the shop is "Next". Well I think there could have been a better shop which could have opened.

Ripped Off By BOGOF

The other day in the Metro Newspaper (very good newspaper for free) there was a tiny little article which should have really been a full page spread. Titled

BOGOF? More like rip-off.

This if you haven't figured out already is about BOGOF offers. Recently it has been investigated that the BOGOF offers have been more like a RIPOFF. In the article they gave some figures in some of the 'retail giants' and Asdas were doing an offer which consisted of buy two packs of sausages for just £3 but the packs only cost £1. Know wonder why there prices are so low, because they are getting extra money from the offers (as they so call them).

Then the other offender is Tesco. Online 'Little Rachel's' Yogurts are normally £1.49 each but are offered at two for £3 - 2p more.

So it's not that people are stealing things from Shops, it beginning to become that shops are steeling from us as you can not pay for one separate each.

It's Not Over.

Well, another Christmas has gone and surprisingly it was better than lasts years feeling a little more Christmasy (although it seemed everyone else wasn't) but feeling a little more Christmasy is different to having a good Christmas Day. Then when you think everything is finished another crazy day comes. End of Christmas and January Sales. This day I sum by saying 'It's Christmas shopping but you are shopping for yourself.'

After getting the old money in Christmas cards I went into town today. Apart from town today just seemed to be another shopping day in town. This is because the only half or even less I had money off in the sales. The only thing I had money off was a Razor set which was £15 pound and I had it for £10. I only wanted Razors but they are so expensive I could get a hold new shaver with shaving foam and moisturiser which is surprisingly cheaper than 4 Razor Wow.

Now also Sale is different to Discount and this is what I got in Game Station after going there numerous of times and buying games I now only release that they offer student discount. Why I have not idea, shouldn't students really be studying rather than playing on game consoles (Me) NO.

So if I would give shops some advice, don't call it a mega Sale if not everything is on offer or everything on Sale.

Thoughtless Conversation

We today had went into Cardiff City Centre town for a massive 4 hours shopping. Ending up only going in 5 shops (how I do not know). Then leaving town I said
"This is the most I spent in town before" (Only spending £30)
Mum complaining "I came to town with you and I come out spending money which I didn't want to spend."
Now think, how many people go into town and end up not spending a penny I corrected her.
A simple Solutions to solve this; DON'T GO TO TOWN.
