    I'll tell u why they do this (mislead us) its to get us all rushing to store only to find its not on and panic 'it might not end up on at all' or 'i best get this at half price before it sells out'. It's to get us out in our masses all excited and wanting to spend. I bet a lot of people end up buying at half price today when they get there and realise there's no 75% yet.

    Hmm not sure that would work en-masse - it's only die-hard bargain hunters getting worked up about a potential sale. Can'tr see anyone parting with money @ 50% when the aisles are dead and there is definitely no rush on.

    I do think you're probably right in that that's what's behind the smoke and mirrors

    Anyone who goes into a store, please actually ask if the sale is on or get an item price-checked. It's happened before that the signs just weren't up, and sometimes the staff didn't even know the items would ring up at cheaper prices!

  • I did see someone mention earlier in the thread that the sales assistant didn;t know it was a sale on until something rang through @ 75% off!!

    I'm kind of glad it's not today as have a delivery due.

    I know there is a separate thread but can anyone who is out early today confirm if the vitamin shot offer is still on?
