Here are some of the sales terms I saw today:

'40% off selected items'

'40% off - selected items excluded'

These first two seen at different shops, had me laughing to myself!  Imagine trying to explain the difference in those two terms to young children.

'Up to 50% off, all stock reduced'

'25% off printer inks when purchased with printer'

'50 % off original prices'

And umpteen variations of the above.

JB Hi-Fi had some really sharp prices such as the Canon 3000D at $379.00 but overall their sale seemed nothing special.  Only one printer appeared to have any price reduction.  One portable hard drive had exactly the same price as their other sales this year.  Logitech keyboards 20% off.

I saw one guy walking out of the mall with a boxed Christmas tree - I bet he got a good deal on that.
