Changes to bargain thread

[llloyd]

Changes to bargain section.

I wondered why I hadn’t seen many January sales things posted on the forum.

I’m sure there were reasons for it to be moved, however I thought I’d do a comparison of numbers posted from the new thread from the start (approx Mid August 21, I believe) to end of January 2022 against the old thread from Mid Aug 20 to end of Jan 2021.

New moved thread:
15 posted in August 2021 in all categories
11 posted in September in all categories
15 posted in October in all categories
16 posted in November in all categories
15 posted in December in all categories
5 posted in January 2022 in all categories.
Total 77 posted.

Qvc brand not on telly:
12 posted second half of August 2021
11 posted in September
23 posted in October
30 posted in November
11 posted in December
20 posted in January 2020
Total 107 posted.


Normally those postings would have allowed me to get the heads up on presents early, so I’m missing the Good Friday & January sales deals.
I can honestly say I also forget to post deals after the changes.
I don’t know what the answer is, I just wanted to do an analysis.

I think it would be better to have the thread on aletnative sources of current and formwr Q brands as a sub. Of the Q thread... same for IW.

Of course we get into murkier waters with dupes and alternative products.

Wonder if it could be 'changed back?'

@Graham had good reasons for making the changes.
