The Christmas shopping frenzy may be over, but a new one is about to begin. And maybe even bigger. There are post-Christmas and New Year discounts. However, customers should be careful not to come across any of the fake ones. In particular, we should note how much the goods cost before their reduction.
Discounts are everywhere. They started in e-shops right after Christmas, brick-and-mortar stores had to wait until December 27, when they could reopen. Already with decorated shop windows inviting attractive sums.
Almost all the shops in the centers we passed have these. And almost everyone who walks into a store immediately heads for the discount racks. For example, we visited the H&M clothing store, where they offer discounts of up to fifty percent. For children, men, women.
The e-shop of the mentioned seller also offers a big sale. Here, too, there are to be discounts of up to fifty percent. However, we noticed one that went down even further.
However, the data for the lowest price of the goods during the last thirty days is missing.

The Black Friday shopping frenzy is over. And our editors already reported on Friday that the expected discounts may not have been as significant as in…
Like on Black Friday
Let us remind you that from the new year the amendment to the Act on Consumer Protection applies, when in shops the price tags must include not only information about the current price, any discount, but also the price that the goods had before the discount. In this case, the decisive factor is the price that the goods had 30 days before the introduction of the discount price.
Let’s give an example. A shopkeeper sells a winter jacket for a thousand crowns, he couldn’t sell it, so he put a sign on it that it was 50 percent off, but kept the price the same. And because people hear about discounts, the jacket was sold quickly and the customer left feeling good about the savings.
And we don’t often find this information in e-shops.
As part of the Black Friday shopping frenzy, we reported on the About You server. He was selling, for example, S. Oliver women’s dresses, for which the seller was offering a twenty percent discount. They cost 827 crowns. But during the past thirty days, they cost 222 crowns. Their price thus increased by 272 percent on Black Friday.

In America, the Black Friday shopping frenzy takes place only one day a year. Just like there, it also falls on the last Friday of November here. In Czechia…
Discounts are everywhere
We also noticed a discount in another fashion store, Marks & Spencer in Prague’s Chodov. Club members also get a 50 percent discount on the second item in the sale.
We asked several people if they were waiting for the sale and looking forward to it. The opinions were almost the same.
Most customers buy clothes for themselves at sales. In addition, many found an envelope under the tree with money that they now want to spend.
There were also those who were already buying gifts for next Christmas.
Reader Marcela Novotná informed us about her “bargain” purchase by e-mail.
“I wanted to buy waterproof fishing clothes for my husband. The full price is around 19,000, I took advantage of Black Friday and bought it at a discount for 16,600, now it is in the Christmas sale for 15,000 crowns,” she wrote to us.
But it’s not just about clothes, you can also buy electronics or household equipment at a discount. For example, Ikea has a big sale, it lasts until January 12. Electro World also promises discounts of up to fifty percent, where they last until January 3.
In general, when buying with a discount, we should know how much the product cost before the discount. We should also pay attention to dubious e-shops that have bad or no ratings.
