A shop near me advertised a "25% off everything day" so I went along to buy a nice glass vase. When I got there I discovered the one I wanted was already marked "50% off". So I take it along to the till to pay and they took another 25% off! As they are wrapping it up I see a notice saying that if I sign up for a store card they would take 10% off my purchases for a day. After all the reductions another 10% was hardly worth bothering with but I'm not one to turn down free money. Purchases on the card were "interest free" for 30 days so I figure I'll cut the card up when I get home. Then just as I was leaving store there was a announcement on the PA system that said if you paid off your store card in full that day at the customer service desk they would give you 2% off your card bill! So up the stairs I go two at a time to pay off my card which I then have them cut up for me. Somebody pinch me.
