Say what?  The weekly sales (that are nationwide) RARELY get out to the

circulars to you as close to Sat as possible (lately it's been Fri for Kmart
ads).

Really?  I don't pay a whole lot of attention to flyers and such (they
typically go straight into recycle), so I basically assumed.  Wow.  Why on
earth would they not want to advertise a sale ahead of time?  Since you imply
its common, I suppose there's some reasoning behind it, but I don't get it.
