Have you ever wondered how a whole store of merchandise is magically marked down by the time the sales start, early in the morning on the day after Christmas?

A lot of stores get their staff to re-price items late on Christmas Eve, i.e. today.

So if you’ve been lusting after something that’s a fraction too expensive, go take a look an hour before closing time. It might just be discounted already!
