[quote=Anonymous]Did you ever work in retail? The “star” sale items — usually two or three things — are loss-leaders. They are designed to get you in the store and the ads usually are quite clear that “quantities [are] limited.” That said, the best tactic is to know-and-go on the day the deal starts. For groceries, it’s usually on a Wednesday. I realize that’s not always possible but if you can make it a short in-and-out trip [i]just to get the specials[/i] it might help. It’s up to you to do the ROI for your time to “time it” right. The other tip is to ask floor/restock staff if or when an additional shipment may come in. I’ve not had much luck asking the “fulfillment” folks; they just pull from their list which already eliminates or substitutes out-of-stock items. Good luck and it’s nice to see someone watching their wallet.[/quote]
