Certain websites are allowing shoppers to discount items ahead of the winters sales which start tomorrow
SOME websites are allowing shoppers to reserve items at discount prices, ahead of the winter sales which start on January 6.
The sales run from tomorrow until February 16, except in Lorraine, where they started last weekend.
However, some shops are allowing customers to reserve items in advance via their websites.
After reserving at item, customers have between 24-48 hours to go to the shop to pick it up, although there is no obligation to buy.
Some of the 18,000 shops taking part will have the item ready within two hours.
According to Le Parisien, expectations for the winter sales are low, following a combination of mild weather, which reduces the demand for winter clothes, and the November terror attacks.
