Palindromic Sentence

Insert the letters from FAMILIES MASS SALE into the phrase below to form a complete palindromic sentence. Palindromic sentences read the same backwards and forwards. For instance, "Madam, I'm Adam".

_ A - _ _ - _ _ - S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ S - _ - _ _

To make this look (somewhat) right, I'm putting a dash (-) in between each word. Each missing letter is underlined. Sorry if it makes it unclear.
