Grant department store in the early '60s and she said it was amazing - all they had to do was put a "Two for $1" sign on things that normally cost 50 cents and stuff they couldn't move before would fly out.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-14654962262024655612013-11-27T15:09:14.926-05:002013-11-27T15:09:14.926-05:00I'm not surprised.

Corporations tend to castrate managers who give away margin, and most of 'em are looking to the year-end feeding frenzy to make up for a crappy year.<br /><br />I learned the ugly truth about going out of business sales years ago. The "30% off everything in the store" advertised in the window is taken off of the list price, not the store's "everyday low price." By the time they get to the 50% and 75% markdowns, the only product left is junk that nobody wants. All the good stuff was bought at what used to be the store's regular price (or maybe a little more) by clueless people who thought they were getting a deal.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813274491601970838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-62972488040085912792013-11-27T14:51:39.183-05:002013-11-27T14:51:39.183-05:00http://camelcamelcamel.com/http://camelcamelcamel.com/Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471264704254326723noreply@blogger.com
