Where they languish forever in the smaller town stores, once local

I wonder if they have a disposal policy, ie, do they grimly hang on
reducing the prices until everything's gone, or does someone local get
the chance to purchase the remainder at clearance prices. If the latter,
I can't say I've noticed Aldi or Lidl own brand gear being outed from
anywhere elsel.

The smaller stores do sometimes reduce prices if they have one or two left
over - simply because they need the space for new offers. The larger ones
don't seem to. The biggest one round here is at Clapham Junction and they
have some stuff - still at full price - from months ago.
