Harveys The Furniture Store

Apparently they have an offer this weekend only (28th Friday, 29th Saturday & 30th Sunday) VAT FREE.
Not totally sure, and think it is only available in stores.
This works out a much better saving than a SALE.

    All this means is that they are discounting their prices by 17.5% (or 15% if the sale is from next Monday).

    To be honest, I'd be more interested in a 20% sale offering.

    The store is still charging VAT (they have to in law) but they've simply reduced their before VAT price by 17.5% so it looks like you are getting the goods VAT free.
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    That is such a weird statement. What if they had one of their usual '50% off' sales - how would 17.5% be better than that ? Of course it's a sale, it's just reduced by 15%.
