So it is the 8th of July, fresh snow has fallen on the Ceder and Drakensberg mountain range, I step into our local clothing store (not brave enough to conceal the chain) and what do I behold? Summer clothing!!!!
Who in their right mind decided that when July breaks, our country decides to sell summer stock?! It is like someone thought it will be good idea so that we can stay on track with States or Europe. God forbid we fall behind.
I have fallen countless times for this trick. So when is the best time to shop for winter? February I think. When the Cape is going through a heat wave, the boere are praying for rain and we are frying our guts out at the pool everyday. Yes, that is the time when you are suppose to get up, go to the shop and start looking for thermal underwear, ski jackets and mow hair socks!
So I went to the store manager, and her reply was a typical African reply. "ma'am, you better take it up with head office." Head office - the vaguest concept in our country. So imagined myself holding my cell phone to my ear for a minimum of 20 minutes listening to boring lounge music while being put on hold by yet another receptionist.Is it really worth it? Or shall I simply just start shopping online from now on?
Honestly, I am really considering this option from now on. Just go online and find what you need and have it delivered. Spree.co.za ! Here we come!
