Real and genuine sales before a season comes.
Stores are trying to clear up old stock to able to get new ones for the coming season.
Hence, they give real discounted prices so they can be done with
the old stock and have new stock.
Any sales that happen during a season not bad but definitely not genuine.

feeling that you are buying it less.
However, you are buying at the actual price.

and during sales in a particular season.
