Did you know?
- In some Latin American markets, a price drop might be signaled by a remate, which literally means a 'final blow' or 'finishing off' of the stock.
- The word rebaja comes from the verb rebajar, which means not only to lower a price but also to humble someone or lower their social status.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, the concept of rebajas (sales/price drops) is so culturally significant that official government dates often regulate when these price drops can begin.
