Everybody knows it means that items are being advertised at lower prices. <br /> <br />Hope that makes you feel more confident of the meaning. <br /> <br />Cal Jimhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/GetMoreForLess/2/mhcp/Post.htm#61028Sun, 12 Dec 2004 21:00:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:61028Teacher Eric3http://www.englishforums.com/English/GetMoreForLess/2/mhcp/Post.htm#61028http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-61028.xmlI'm sure other native speakers wouldn't have any trouble with it.
