So, our big, shiny, new Circuit City is one of the 155 stores closing nationwide. They have big signs in the windows saying that everything is 10-20% off!
But, before you rush to the store, keep a few things in mind. Liquidators will raise prices and then take 10% off. 10% is basically tax, which you often don't pay if you buy things online. You can probably find what you want for cheaper online, even after shipping.
It might be worth checking out in a few weeks when they really start marking things down.
On another note, Linens and Things is also going out of business (we have one by Lakeline Mall). When I was there a couple weeks ago, they had pulled out the 10% - 20% off trick.
It's always tempting to buy things on sale. But if you don't need them, or if the sale isn't the best price, you end up falling for the marketing traps!
