Shoppers can expect a Boxing Day bonanza on the high street and online this year as many retailers will be slashing prices. But there are some shops where you won't see discount stickers and money off signs. Not all stores jump on the annual Boxing Day deals bandwagon, choosing instead to offer savings all year round. There are even some high street favourites on the list that might surprise you. Meanwhile, those that do take part may even start early this year – we've already spotted several winter sales you can shop right now.
Primark
High street giant Primark has around 200 stores across the country, and is a favourite among fans looking for the latest fashion at bargain prices. It's for that very reason that it does not offer a giant sale across its ranges – though savvy shoppers might still spot seasonal savings. Primark did not take part in Boxing Day sales last year either, and doesn't do discount events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday either. Shoppers do report spotting discounted items in store throughout the year though, so keep your eyes peeled.
TK Maxx
From beauty to bathroom cleaning, and fashion to furniture, there's not much you CAN'T buy at TKMaxx – and all for far less than retail price. Stock often ends up in the retailer's more than 300 stores after failing to sell at full price. That's good news for shoppers as they can pick up discounts of up to 90% all year round instead of having to look out for certain times of year. Plus that's why it doesn't take part in the traditional Boxing Day sales – and hasn't done for the past three years. But one expert has warned that you might still see some of the retailer's everyday discounts rebranded as seasonal sales.
Poundland
Poundland launched its first very Black Friday sale this year – but is keeping tight-lipped on Boxing Day so far. While in previous years Poundland has not participated in Boxing Day sales, citing its everyday low prices, its u-turn on Black Friday could suggest a similar move this year. We've asked the discount shop and will update when we hear back.
Home Bargains
Another store traditionally avoiding Boxing Day discounts is Home Bargains. Black Friday or Cyber Monday are also off the calendar for the bargain shop too. But, it tends to offer cheap prices all year round instead.
