What New Zealand (and the rest of the planet) needs is some actual
common sense ... you cannot have a "Back to School" sale when the kids haven't even finished school yet!! Anybody who thinks doing this is
actually sensible is plainly an idiot - at best you would have an "End
of School" sale.

There is nothing wrong with someone budgeting in December for a new

Correct. All sales promotions are suspect. All sales claims should
be verified by purchasers prior to paying for goods. Use Priceme or
Pricespy to check out claims. A good start, not foolproof though.

Many families on a budget will be happy to buy back-to-school items on special a month and a half before schools go back. They get the
reassurance that they are paying a discounted price instead of risking paying full price at the last minute.
If you stop shops from selling something, you are also stopping
families from buying that same thing (in this case, back-to-school
items on special).

You missed the point.
I never said they could have a sale, simply that it was far too early.
The sale would still happen anyway, but at the actual correct time of
year, i.e. just before kids go back to school, not before they have even finished school for the previous year!
Besides which, parents will already be stretched at this time of year
trying to buy Christmas presents and Christmas food to bother with
buying school supplies

We both know you are talking about a sale of back-to-school items a
month and a half before schools go back. Do read and comprehend my text >which you quoted above.
The sale would still happen anyway, but at the actual correct time of
year, i.e. just before kids go back to school, not before they have even

It is none of your busybody business to stop back-to-school items being
sold and bought on special at any time.
New Zealand (and the rest of the world) does not want or need a calendar >policeman dictating when back-to-school supplies can be sold and bought
on special.
Besides which, parents will already be stretched at this time of year
trying to buy Christmas presents and Christmas food to bother with
buying school supplies
Parents who are budgeting properly will have been setting money aside >throughout the year for these Christmas expenses. Christmas is not an >unforeseeable event. Christmas has been celebrated on 25 December since
336 CE.
The parents themselves can decide whether they want to buy
back-to-school supplies at this time. It is none of your busybody
business to decide for them.
