I was doing some image research for work and stumbled upon this photo. Save -$10! I wonder if they actually sold any of these at the higher sale price? You would think that this error had to have been seen by at least 2 employees, and yet, it made it to the sales floor. I wonder how many people just look at the word “sale” and really pay no attention to the original price.
No matter what I’m buying or where I buy it from, I always want to know the retail price. It’s a rare occasion when I was shopping, that I would pay full price for anything. I bought a sofa from Eurway, but I waited for the 20% off sale. I had seen the 20% off sale there a few months prior and I told the sales lady to call me when they ran that special again. She called me a month later.
It pays nicely to do just a little bit of research when you’re shopping. With smart phones, you can even do it right there at the store. Look out for sales that should not result in sales. ;)
I don’t shop retail without a coupon, or eat at a restaurant without one! Kohls, JC Penney, Macy’s, regularly have a coupon. Target and Walmart clothing seem expensive to me now, as shopping with a coupon at retail joints is cheaper. Really it is. A clearance item and a 20% coupon is awesome! Sally’s Beauty Supply has a February 20% coupon. Ulta regularly has online coupons. If we want to splurge and go to the regular movie theatre (not the dollar movies) I make sure we have a cinemark coupon. I get them weekly, free popcorn with a purchase of a drink. Movies and popcorn are a must for me so this is a nice alternative. Okay I’m writing too much! The point – USE a Coupon! I’m not talking about grocery coupons, that’s a whole other topic – don’t get me started on those!
Clearly you’ve been hanging out with Lori!! LOL I have mixed feelings about coupons. I am planning a blog post on them, so this is great info. :)
