It was a "Take-an-additional-40%-off-all-Red-Dot-Clearance" coupon. The Chickie Shopper Code requires that I go to such events or risk losing my certified Chickie Shopper status.
What did I find (besides that adorable tunic-length cap-sleeve gray sweater vest with faux fur trim)? I found trickiness. You see, there are TWO kinds of sale items at the S'mart. One kind is "Red-Dot Clearance," and the other is just plain old "Sale" (how prosaic). And the signs look SOOOO similar. I think that's tricky.
They ought to make the signs for non "Take-an-additional-40%-off-all-Red-Dot-Clearance" coupon items a distinct color, like... say... blaze orange. You know, the color hunters wear so that they don't get shot in the woods when stalking down their prey. The Red-Dot signs can remain their lovely red, black and white. Think about it; it would totally work. After all, if we're going to risk life and limb out there bargain hunting, we ought to have an official system to ensure budget safety.
