Thanks for taking the time to post this for us. Someone was just mentioning this the other, but I hadn't had the chance to look it up yet to see when ours was happening (or more accurately, I forgot). The info is much appreciated. I hope I'll have time to get some shopping done that weekend. Now that I know when it is, I can try to plan for it. Every little bit definitely helps, so I will try to get as much done that weekend as possible. I'm glad people shared this. Some of us didn't even know it was a thing, but I'm sure we'll all try to take advantage of the additional savings.
