Over half of people revealed that they waited to buy items in the sales to be thrifty (63%) while 43% said they wanted to spend more money on other items and 8% even revealed that they waited because their partner wouldn’t let them buy the items full price!

Shockingly, 18% of people even admitted that they throw away their unwanted furniture and electrical items after buying new goods!

BHF's Furniture & Electrical Stores are calling on people to donate their unwanted household goods after buying new items in the January sales. Our Stores are always looking for donations of sofas, chairs, dining sets, beds and wardrobes plus an array of electrical items including TVs, Hi-Fis, washing machines, fridges and dishwashers.

BHF's Retail Director, Mike Taylor, said: “With so many people buying new household items such as beds and sofas in the January sales we know there will be a lot of unwanted items around. It’s shocking that 18% of people said that they throw out their unwanted furniture and electrical goods so we just want to remind everyone that we’re always looking for donations for our Stores and offer a free collection service."
