What do u think about the discounts which are provided on sale. We just see an thing that Discount upto 50%(Conditions Apply). What is it? Isn,t way of fooling. If u by a hanky u get 50% discount. Buy an T shirt get 15% discount which are already higher than the general price.
So R they fooling Us??

Only if we allow them to fool us.
There is a very healthy mark-up on clothing prices expecially in "name brands" section.The businesses can afford to give a % off since the price is always set high.
Remember that the business expects to break even on their regular prices and the profits basically come from the "sale" items or clearance ones.That is where the profits sit until they sell.

if you have ever worked retail you would know in a second. ive worked at a clothing store and gm store and a electronic store. and have learned the tricks. sale price is never a sale price unless you think the price is good. i dont ever look at signs i look at the item and the price and decide if i would pay that much for it. most clothing stores mark up stuff before they put the sale signs up ive had to do it one to many times.. and i realized that ppl saved the most money when the store had no sales going on..
