We've got legs

Hence, "sale." Everything's on sale. Well, yes, of course it is. A sale is simply what is accomplished when something is sold. It is the noun form of the verb, "to sell." Buyer beware: "discount" and "reduced price" are entirely different words, if you want to get really picky (we do). When we see the word "sale," we ask: do you really mean that you're going to have lower prices than usual?
We frowned, we bullied, we cajoled. Kris Buckner of Saddle Up was a good sport about it. It looks like the answer, in this case, might be yes.*
*Yes, you certainly may drive around like a maniac, crisscrossing the state in search of lower prices. Burn up your fuel and your time to save a dollar, if you like. It's 2014 and we need new ways of imagining Grandmother; what could be better than lean-and-mean Leadfoot with a stack of deer carcasses on the hood, turtle shells for hubcaps, pulling into the gravel driveway of the old family cottage at 5:30pm, exhausted, ornery and half-dead from applying non-stop scrutiny to aisles and aisles and aisles of sterile goods?
