interesting people. And, most important of all, we save a lot!” The problem, of course, is that only a very small number of
products have big reductions in their prices. Apart from a few big discounts, each shop has other things that are reduced from 10
to 50 per cent, saving shoppers from $10 to $400 per item, and so Americans want to go shopping.
