I can personally attest to this. Was there on on a weekday and then went back for the item on the weekend. The price went up more than 100% but they had it at half off. It would've been cheaper if I bought it before the sale.

One should be happy for every purchase that he/ she makes. This is the reason I don't buy from them. I just get this sick feeling that I've been had if I do spend money there.

I hate their cash register. The lady always punch in the prices so fast, you cant even keep up and know and they're charging. They should get a price scanner.
And then the receipt has no description of the items so you cant even tell what you bought.

I read all these stuff about Tong's, how they marked up their prices up and then give discount on sales day. I went in on Friday to check out their prices, then went back in again on Sat. which is their first sales day. I didnt see anything really being marked up, especially I wrote down all the prices of the things I wanted to buy on Friday. Hehe, saved me over 100 bucks plus free water. I'll see how it is on their next sales, but this time was freakin' AWESOME!!!!

yeah i was also surprised to see some decent prices for most of their stuff after they took off 30% at the register

[Scissorhand]

true, their prices were good all around.

though when I came after work on Saturday, their livestock looked a bit thin... I guess they had a busy morning.

whoever picked up the last rhomboid, there's been a recall... something like a boid-flu, and you will need to take it back to the store asap for immediate quarantine.

Their livestock prices were reasonable this time. Copperbands were $14 and Imperator Angels for $50 were not too bad. I guess this was a true sale.
