If you do, you’ll have noticed the full bitz on shoppers especially on Thursdays and Saturdays. One small tree each day. And the game is on. "Sales" everywhere.
As a retailer, we are not spared. Right now the line on the phone is:
"Do you honour competitors couppons?"
—"Depends if we have the same products".
"The coupon says $8 off"
—"Off of what?"
"Don’t know, I’ll phone them"
And yes, we have beaten this issue many time. See our "Best Price Guarantee".
The person phones back and says "It’s $8 off $54.99"
As it happens our regular price on that product is $45.95 – already a dollar cheaper than even their sale price!
