Shoppers looking for discounts, voucher codes and bargains in the January sales are finding it heavy weather as the really strong deals are few and far between, so say the experts.

This year – we are seeing the impact of the recession as many stores simply cannot afford to strip out any more margin from their already, overly discounted prices.

It is not all bad news though, some stores such as Argos are freezing the VAT increase in a bid to clear out 2009 stock. Additionally, DSGI have really ratcheted up their competitiveness and for the Dixon’s January Sale they have taken things one step further and are naming stores they will guarantee to beat the price on!

It will be interesting to see which retailers finish their January sales in January and which provide an extended sales period.
