The HANOS fortnight flyer, 7 to 20 September: 32 pages, with a second flyer of only 8 pages on the identical window

This HANOS flyer runs from 7 to 20 September across 32 pages. The unusual part is not the length but that the same retailer has a second flyer live across the identical fourteen days, and that one holds just 8 pages. The start and end dates match to the day while the page counts differ by a factor of four. The practical consequence is concrete: if someone tells you HANOS has a price this fortnight, that sentence does not say which flyer, and the two do not hold the same contents. Matching a price means identifying the flyer first.

• This flyer: 32 pages, valid 7 to 20 September 2026. (source 1)
• The second flyer on the same window: 8 pages, also 7 to 20 September. (source 2)
• A third from the same retailer: 47 pages, valid 1 September to 30 November, spanning the whole of both windows above. (source 3)
• Density for comparison: this flyer is 32 over 14, or 2.3 pages a day; the 8-page one is 0.6 and the 91-day one is 0.5.

The sum is density: pages divided by usable days is pages a day. This flyer is 32 over 14, or 2.3; the one sharing its window is 8 over 14, or 0.6; the long one is 47 over 91, or 0.5. A high number is a flyer to sit down with once, a low one can be picked up every few days. Together the three put 87 pages inside overlapping dates, so the time-saving move is to decide the category you are shopping for first and then open only the flyer that carries it.

The second sum is overlap: two flyer prices can only be subtracted when their date ranges intersect. All three cover 7 to 20 September, so within those fourteen days a price in the long flyer and a price in either short one belong to the same period and compare directly. After 20 September the two short flyers end while the long one still has seventy days to run, and from then on its prices have only themselves as a reference.

A Hokimi field note: when one retailer runs three flyers at once, read the validity dates before the contents. Two flyers with identical dates are told apart by their length, and the one with different dates decides how long your comparison stays valid.
