Usually the best discounts are a couple of weeks after the holiday but I am not sure of the UK market.

I have not found retailers necessarily marking up prices, but I also haven’t found the best deals late in the season.

A friend of mine just came back from her vacations. She had spent the money she was going to use to payoff her credit card balance. She had to borrow money from her Mom.
