On a slightly different note, Wal-Mart sells lots of big-screen TVs just before the Super Bowl.
Many are returned the week after.
One day as I was having lunch in the mall Chick Filet, the woman at the next table told her friend she had to go to Sears to return a bunch of stuff.
She said she went shopping with her sister-in-law and bought the stuff at Sears just to be buying something. She was returning it all.
