Victoria Sneaky Secret's

Well, like any other girl i love the items they have in Victoria Secret's but can never justify buying underwear that is £50. But at the moment they have a great sale on in their store and their sister store PINK. One of my closest friends turns 18 next month so i thought i would get her something in the sale as i know how much she loves Victoria Secret's. There were so many beautiful items that she would love and i was very tempted to pop a few things into my basket for myself aswell. But, as you all know from my previous post, i must resist the lust to shop. I sound like the girl from confessions of a shopaholic. But only now am i so glad i didn't treat myself to one of the beautiful garments. I found the perfect present and it was only £24,00 when it was originally about £45!! I was like yes i have done it, its her size its just perfect (because you know what sales are like, you find something beaut and then it doesn't have your size or any pretty colours) I got to the checkout and to my dismay it was £8 nearly £9 shipping. I took a big gulp and thought it's fine, Its from america, i understand, im still in budget and she deserves it. BUT THEN after i had sorted out my delivery address etc i payed and looked at the receipt they give you. It said "thankyou for your order blah blah for £40." I was like sorry what, 40?! Sneaky old Victoria Secret's charge you £6 something taxes on top of all that shipping and the actual cost of the product. I was so annoyed especially as i don't exactly have a lot of money at the moment anyway and i deliberately looked for something in the sale. I payed almost the same price in taxes and shipping as i did the actual item. Yes you will probably say its my own fault for going on there when i don't have money to splash. But i am so angry that i got mugged off and they didn't show the taxes before i payed, So i highly recommend checking out their gorgeous affordable items in the sale, but just be prepared they will charge you double just to get it to your door!!
