Top start of the 2025 winter sales at Gap

However, not all Gapençais have the heart to run behind the best promotions, as Radio SCOOP Gold was able to see in the morning.

Consumers wary of sales

“I don't necessarily plan to go on sale, I don't need anything and I try to consume less“explains Cyrielle, a customer met in the city center.

Another reason more worrying for Véronique: “I am not convinced that the prices displayed are real, I know that there are businesses where they inflate the pricesand I'm not a big consumer. I've given up on sales for a while.”

Corinne, who comes out of a store in the city center, is not particularly waiting for the sales, “It all depends on my needs, I'm not going to do sales for the sake of having sales.”

Sales: the opportunity to find that rare gem?

The sales are also an opportunity for some to find their favorite item at a reduced price, like Sylvie who is looking for leather pants, “The discounts are pretty goodthere is an ease compared to that.”

Cathy, for her part, has already bought three sweaters and a pair of pants, “This year, I wanted and needed to take advantage of the sales, while putting a budget of 400 euros.”

For Anne-Marie, this is an opportunity to make gifts: “I'm really waiting for the sales to give gifts to grandchildren.”

The sales continue until Tuesday February 4, 2025 inclusive in Hautes-Alpes.
