One of the foundational lies of marketing is that "sale" means "reduced price".
In the marketing dictionary, "sale" only means "we want to move more of these".
I see it at the grocery stores all the time.

What's funny about HF is that their ads are inescapable, on or in every magazine & newspaper.
Also emails and in my mailbox from time to time.
Yet at the store, they never fail to ask "do you get our fliers ?"
