Sales on Sale

As everyone is painfully aware, the American economy has been in the dumps for the past year or more. The retail market has been very bad. My friends who work in retail or in restaurants - who make a living from other people shopping - have been struggling, perhaps even more than the average person. While most people have felt like they can't do as much shopping as they might otherwise have done, that they don't have as much discretionary income as they did, retailers are doing even worse. Because when people don't shop, they don't sell.

And so most retailers have been having sales. Lots of sales. You could say that sales have been on sale.
