BRITISH high street shops are slashing prices to rock bottom in the biggest Autumn sale in 16 years.
New Look, Debenhams and Curry's are among the stores offering huge discounts in a bid to tempt us into shops.
Many of the sales are advertised as up to 50 per cent off, but if you look carefully you can often find discounts of over 70 per cent.
Autumn mid-season sales are nothing new, but this year the shops are holding them for longer and offering bigger discounts than ever before.
The Debenhams Autumn Sale is due to finish tomorrow, and the Hobbs sale should end on Monday October 13, but the rest of the stores show no signs of bringing their sales to an end.
The British Retail consortium says that non-food prices declined in September and it's the biggest price drop since May 2018.
Mike Watkins, head of retailer and business insight at Nielsen said: "Retailers continue to focus on limiting price increases coming through the supply chain. Prices have fallen in non foods.
"Competition for discretionary spend will intensify across all channels as we head towards the end of the year and we anticipate more promotional savings for shoppers and inspiring media campaigns that help to drive incremental sales."
Here's some of the best bargains we could find:
