Walgreens is open, but who wants a gift from Walgreens? Hmm…a ginormous calculator and tv remote, some film, a pack of condoms, and a Kit Kat. Merry Christmas!
I wish this was actually true for the shops I go into. Their idea of a ‘sale’ is to put stock back on the shelves that they took down three months before Christmas, at a price that’s £5 more expensive than it was before, in the hope that you’ve forgotten and will instead compare it to the price of all the stuff that’s actually new and interesting, which hasn’t dropped in price by so much as a penny.
Actually, it’s not that the things you want to buy as presents aren’t on sale, it’s that you waited too long to come in and do your Christmas shopping so all of the things that were on sale were sold out. You are in fact, dumber than a sack of hammers.
Murphy’s law of Commerce
the sales are a lie
I got cake
Portraying the obvious much?
So logic would dictate that you do your gift-shopping on Christmas Day. No wonder you can’t find any sales. No one’s open!

LOL Too funny.
Hmm, it is almost like stores know when people are most apt to purchase stuff…
Buy 10 and get 1 for free is a better offer then buy 1, get 1 25% off
Does not compute.
Buy ten, get one free is a saving of 9%. Buy one, get one 25% off is a saving of 17.5%…
See? It is a better deal…
…for the retailer.
This is why I shop for real gifts after Christmas and give everyone cheap placeholder gifts on the day
“Insert gift here”.

That’s not a sale, that’s an anti-sale!
Ain’t this the truth!
I was able to buy the Catwoman game for Xbox at FYE for $1.
It was worth it.
Actually, in some shops, is you go there exchange a sweater or something that costed 75 in xmas, and costs 55 on sale, they’ll give you back the 20…
