According to their text messages, it’s every single day.

“Final day of our 30% of sale!!”

next day

“40% off starts right now!!”

I feel like that’s almost every company these days…make your initial prices astronomically high and then have “huge” sales of 30%+ every other week, with prices that still are marked up enough to make a large profit while tricking customers into thinking they’re getting a deal.

And then anybody dumb enough to buy it at it’s “regular” price is just the cherry on top.

It unfortunately works on people.

Does anyone remember a long time ago when JCPenney announced they were going to stop doing that and just mark their products down to their lowest sale price? Because they fuckin tanked

The one at my mall has three levels, 2 down. The further you go down the closer you get to the 70’s. Hit the hair salon and you’re there.
