Because of the idiots who would then go into the store with the ad and demand the
sale price, too lazy to look at the dates the sale is good for, most likely.

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

Unless you are on their mailing list, and even then, they try to get 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.
