Don't they get it that this means a savings of 7 or maybe 8 percent? I don't consider anything under 25% off a good sale. And what really ticks me off are those sales when you have to buy one item at full price and get the second one at 50% off. What if I don't want/need two?<br /><br />And then there are those sales for which you need one of those loyalty cards. I get that...but then they have other special deals only when you give them your email address. But wait...there's more! If you have their app on your smart phone, you'll get an even better price. And if you go to their website and set up an account and print out their coupon, you'll get a real deal! <br /><br />I've refused to buy stuff because of shenanigans like that.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-38911813621040911732016-04-26T11:52:45.441-05:002016-04-26T11:52:45.441-05:00We keep getting calls from an energy provider offe...We keep getting calls from an energy provider offering us a cheaper locked in rate for a year.

Menard's is especially good at the scam when they offer a mail in rebate... only good as a store credit. No Menard's... I don't want to come back. Just give me the the discount right away.
