Sale: a special disposal of goods, as at reduced prices / transfer of property for money or credit.
Almost all stores have those special times of the year when they sell their goods at reduced prices...
A necklace is 20 dollars instead of 45, a pair of shoes you can find at a 70% discount, buy a pair of quality jeans for next to nothing! Wow!
What could be better than that?!
You always have to remember > whatever they're selling, at whatever discounted price - they're still making a profit! Just not a 400% (or however insanely high they've set their prices) profit...
They have to always set the prices at a level where they're still making money - and when you see it that way, then you know how much those items are really worth - less than what the most discounted price is...
Making a profit means paying for the labor (which was most probably made in China, India, Vietnam or Thailand - all the places where their labor is criminally underplayed (not to mention child labor which is just a whole different topic)), the shipping, the packaging, the 'idea of the design', and then also making some money off of it as the end goal.
The moral of the story: always wait for a discount - and don't buy cheaply made things: they won't last you as long as quality things will.
Invest, don't just buy.

All sales are not profitable. Discounts are done as a matter of Business Policy. Everyone has their own reason to give discount. Some make profit and some don't.
