In my experience, all supermarkets that close for a day each week did that. And there's a smaller version of it every night within the last 45 min - 1 hr before closing... perishable things get marked down, though not as much as the day before they're closed. So always shop just before the market closes, either for the night or for the next day, in order to save money.
