TM's ads state at the top of every page:
"Know the quality, appreciate the value"
Then list a percentage off range-in this case 50% to 83% off
Which is the range of percentage off for all items show on the page.
The LEGO sets are 50% off Retail $9.99 to $39.99.
The European Cut Crystal Christmas Ornaments on the lower left
of the ad are 83% off. Kind of misleading but I always read the fine
print.
See my earlier post included at bottom with full text of the ad.

> If you've never been to Tuesday Morning here's my shopping tips:
> -Get there before 8:00 am on the first day (Nov 17)
> -Grab a cart right away, head straight for the toy aisle
> -Dump as many of the sets that interest you into your cart
> right away, they sell out quick and you can pick over them while
> waiting in checkout line.
> -Get in checkout line right away... we were there for a gardening
> sales event this summer and waited over an hour in line to have our
> purchase rung up-they usually only have 2 open checkouts :(
> Twin Citians are lucky in that we have 7 locations in easy driving
> distance: Bloomington, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, Maplewood, Plymouth,
