No but still... Take a $10.00 retail price then add 20% mall price to it and
you now have a $12.00 set. Then take 33% off of that $12.00 and you have a set
whose price has been brought down to $8.04, almost $2.00 below retail. So no it
is not as good of savings as it sounds, but it is still a savings, and if the
set you want is the one set that is 80% off then I don't think you'd hesitate
to buy it just because they non-sale price is above retail.
just my $.02
