It’s like Bed, Bath, and Beyond, or even JoAnn Fabrics.

They are always having *sales*.

Anyone who pays full price is a fool.

Even Hobby Lobby has a lot of stuff, mainly furniture as always 20% off or so. Which means that is really their normal price.

Safeway uses red tags for major mark downs on products but it keeps the original price shown as well.

I love it when I see a red tag with the exact price as the regular price. I saw one just yesterday.

Yes. old trick. Another one Walmart is pulling is charging the exact same price per ounce for large bulk containers as the price for smaller containers. No savings at all for buying bulk.

Walmart pulls those little stunts once in awhile, but rarely are they fooling anyone. I wonder if it is the store managers or the corporation doing this? If their aim is to tick people off...it’s working.
