When you’re price-shopping a $2000 Canon lens online and it’s announced as “on sale”. The discount? A staggering, mind-blowing $45!

there is a grocery store I go to that likes to play social games with people...I assume to see how stupid people really are...the game goes like this:

1. Take item

2. Put a giant yellow “ON SALE” stick over the regular price of the item

3. have the sale price be THE EXACT SAME AS THE REGULAR PRICE

I mean, they aren’t lying, it IS on sale but people see the tag and pick up something they normally may not have at the same price it was before the tag. Sneaky.

That’s pretty clever. Sneaky, but clever.

I make it a point to take the stickers off, or put them slightly askew so you can see both prices.

Savings like that don’t happen every day. Except for when they do.

AKA free shipping normally and you pay shipping when it’s on sale
