Hobby Lobby question

[McGavin]

MIL and FIL are in Florida for the winter and I'm sending them to Hobby Lobby for me.  We don't have them in Canada and I want some knobs for DD2's dresser.  The ad on their website says their knobs are always 50% off the marked price.  So are the website prices already marked down or is that the original price?  

It's kinda confusing, if your prices are always 50%, why isn't that just the price???

I didn't realize they had items on their website, so I'm not sure whether the pricing on their website is the "marked price" or the discounted price.

I also didn't realize they claimed their knobs were always 50% off. I agree, that makes no sense. But really, their whole business model just rotates what is marked 50% off with each week. Week 1 all silk flowers are 50% off. If you miss that sale, it will be back in a few weeks again. I will never pay full price for anything at that place because of it.

Yes, if you goggle Shop Hobby Lobby you can see all their products and even order online. I'm talking about this ad on their website:

I was checking their website to see if knobs were on sale this week and saw the ad above.

It looks to me like they aren't 50% off on the site. I was in HL before Christmas and bought knobs for DDs dresser and they were priced %3.99 and then 50% off, so after looking at the website, it seems those prices are the regular price. Maybe online, the 50% comes off at checkout?

It is silly that they are ALWAYS 50% off... just mark them as the discounted price!!!

It should be the regular price online. Hopefully they'll have them at the HL your ILs go to, my store has a slightly different selection than what they have in another store nearby.

They aren't always 50% off.  I think that's saying they are this week and its 50% off the marked price.  A lot of times their discounts only apply to full price. So, lets say the ones you want are clearanced priced - you get 50% off that price.

why do they have to make shopping sales so difficult?
