Salemaker and Specials - What is the best way

Ok I have my store that I want to say show the RETAIL price of each item then show our price.

The way that i'm doing this is

1. Use the SALEMAKER - to discount all the products in category A say 35% - then it shows the price i want to sell.

2. Now say this month I want to run a SPECIAL on 1 item in CAT A.. But when i put on a sale price it very weird way that I have to get it to the price I want. I just can't add in say $25.00 i have to figure out from the % that I have on the sale maker. So the $35.00 item I then Had to Bump the price up to 38.46 to make it $25.00..

3. I"m i setting this up wrong.. or is there a better way to do this..

If you need more explanation let me know..

thanks..

If you want Sale Maker to ignore Products that are on Special you need to build the Sale to do that ...

See if using:

Ignore SaleCondition - No Sale Applied When Special Exists
