      In the UK, Which (a consumer group) did a study. I think 90% of products were cheaper or same price at other parts of the year.

      The only thing cheaper is usually the shit that no one wants that they cannot shift, or those 5 TVs at the start of the day that make people believe there are good deals available.

        Do you think you have a link for it, I’d help me in a policy paper I’m helping write.
