MATHEMATICS FOR SHOPAHOLICS
Note...if an item used to be £250, now £100, you have not saved £150 but lost £100 if you never intended to buy it..but bought it anyway..
Buy one get one free at £49.99 ..the real price of the item is probably £24.99 each...
If a shop sign says up to 50% off...dont be cheesed off when you get inside and there are only reductions of 10-15%...the sign said 'up to'...
Lastly..beware of shops that are permanently on 'closing down sales'..they probably just have their prices up by whatever % reduction the sale sign says...
HAHA! Hope you enjoyed that..feel free to add ur own musings...... :-D

'90% percent off...'

'original price'
