		<description>I would have to concur with you.  I would also have to say that it is sometimes quite overwhelming when the whole store is on sale.  it takes the fun out of actually finding a good sale!  Anyway, Great Site!</description>

		<description>It really is a madhouse! It is total chaos, and I want no part of it. I mean I&#039;m all for sales but not like this. I&#039;m not really sure if it&#039;s about being materialistic, or whether it&#039;s about trying to catch a break. Everything else around us is going through the roof, maybe they feel this is the one place they can save a little. Or maybe you&#039;re right and they want to try and get name brands for less.</description>

		<description>I totally agree! There are so many sales right now that offer steep discounts that I don&#039;t ever want to pay full price anymore. I think the stores made a huge mistake going all out with their sales-- now everyone will just wait for a sale and not purchase the current retail. It&#039;s a madhouse too-- it shows that while the economy is having a downturn, more people are ever the more materialistic.</description>

		<description>Jean, agreed.  Stores are starting seasons too early.  Consumers can&#039;t enjoy being in the &#039;now&#039; anymore. I also don&#039;t think it is good to push your discount racks first when walking in.  If you walk into luxury purses, for example, and the first thing greeting you is a HUGE display of discounted, red tag designer purses (which is just weird to begin with), you are not going to feel anything is worth paying full price.

Stores need to move merchandise, but have to first move a mindset they created some years back, that has turned into a monster.</description>

		<description>Jean, agreed.  Stores are starting seasons too early.  Consumers can&#039;t enjoy being in the &#039;now&#039; anymore. I also don&#039;t think it is good to push your discount racks first when walking in.  If you walk into luxury purses, for example, and the first thing greeting you is a HUGE display of discounted, red tag designer purses (which is just weird to begin with), you are not going to feel anything is worth paying full price.

Stores need to move merchandise, but have to first move a mindset they created some years back, that has turned into a monster.</description>

		<description>I hear you on loving the discounted prices, but sometimes I don&#039;t have the stamina to fight through the crazy sale racks. I love online shopping as well, but for work purposes I like to feel a product &amp; try it on before writing about it or recommending it. So, I guess I&#039;m sort of stuck! So.. retailers please clean up you stores:)</description>
