Target "Sales?"



I don't know about others, but I though people should pay closer attention when shopping at Target. They had a sign advertising these scooter skirts on sale for $5.00 this week only! Yet, the price on them IS $5.00. I think they are doing this to alot of items in their store. I guess they are trying to make people think they are getting a deal, when really they are paying full price. I don't know if this is something they usually do at these stores, or I just never noticed.

Lots of stores use these tactics... if nobody buys it they will actually have to have a sale when they post a sale sign... they will do this as long as it's working for them.

We should boycott target until they change this practice.

Take a look at some other items. They got us so used to buying in bulk that everyone thinks its cheaper and sometimes its not. I noticed the other day what used to say 25% more free is now 25% more than the 20oz size. Its NOT saying free anymore but they want you to think that. Tricky tricky tricky.

yeah, so what happens after Saturday? "since they are on sale" it bugs me to see a store do that.The price is good already, why try to trick your customers?
