Catalogue Warning - Sunday 1st March 2015

This is more of a warning to not be influenced by catalogues and in store price tickets. Like most people I like to shop around and check the junk mail for things that are on sale. A few months ago I went to Bunnings and checked out the prices on some garden things I need and took a photo on my phone for future reference. Six weeks later the next catalogue arrived and one of the items I was looking at was featured for the SAME price as I had noted weeks earlier. This got me thinking, I looked through all the pages and did not find anything that specified "sale" or "discount" etc. anywhere. My next trip to Bunnings had me searching price tickets for these words. And even though they have plenty of big, bright yellow, eye-catching price tickets, not one had any claim of a discount. I called the enquiry line for my state and asked if they do have sales but was told they have "everyday low prices" and "feature promotional items" according to the season. So watch out, just because it's in a catalogue or has a BIG yellow sign does not means it's on sale!
