One time I was in Stockholm on a business trip and on my way back from the trade fair I went to a design store in the city. The store had a sale and because the Swedish currency was very weak at the time I was able to buy two designer bags at a 90% discount. 70% sale and the 20% was because of the weakness of the Swedish Krona.
