As This Is Not Work points out, seeing the words “up to” and “from” in advertising, and retail in general, usually means “come and waste an awful lot of time rummaging through tat we can’t sell because no one in their right mind would want it – and if you find the one thing at the ‘up-to-from’ discount, congratulations, you’ve won the prize.”
But if you do need to do some department store shopping, they’re worth checking out – just don’t get sucked in to taking out one of their store cards to pay for the items when the shop assistant inevitably tries to sign you up. It’ll cost you the earth. Many shop assistants have targets for the number of people they sign up to the store cards, and some are less than careful about who they offer them to.Â
