Why is it DFS always have a sale on?

[JackRegan]

To try and fool people into think the prices have been reduced when they more than likely havent.

One place i went to was having a sale and the camera i looked at was marked at 10% off but the price was more than the week before.

DFS have always got their sofas on sale, but if you want a suite then a single chair costs nearly as much as the sofa, so a sofa and two chairs (the normal family three piece suite) adds up to no saving.

Argos have started doing this as well, so it must work

[smudge]

MFI are also renowned for doing this. It's one way of tryng to entice customers into their stores - but it has an adverse effect on me tho'!

 Somebody told me that DFS means Definitely Finishes Sunday. So then the next sale obviously starts on the Monday and definitely finishes on the following Sunday.
and so on and so forth.

because its crap and nobody buys their overpriced stuff so having a sale is the only way they can get people in there

Jack you should have reported them, the prices have to be at the higher price for a certain amout of time before they can be put in the sale, and its certainly more than a week!

 

DFS stands for Discount Furniture Store so maybe thats why the prices are permanently reduced?

And wht does DREAMS always have 50% off

[soozmac]

same reason Holland and Barrett always seem to have a Better Than Half Price sale on - how do they make any money?
