One might say "Big savings all week!"

Answer:

STOREAD

Hint:

Think of a place where you’d see bold letters advertising discounts, often found in circulars or flyers. The answer combines where you shop and what you read.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the phrase "big savings all week," which sounds like something you'd hear in a store ad. The word "store" is hidden right in the middle of "stOREAD," with "AD" (short for advertisement) wrapped around it. It’s a clever way to hint at the answer by blending the idea of a sale announcement with the word itself.
