I love discounts, coupons, promotions, sales, special codes, and just about anything that gets you a break on the price. When we first moved here, you could hardly find a discount on anything, so it’s been fun to see bright stickers pop up here and there for the occassional “sale.” However, they are still almost inevitably disappointing. Stores will take out full page ads in the newspaper to advertise a 5 or 10% discount on their merchandise. And when you consider that taxes at restaurants and hotels run 20%, that seems a little ……well, anyway.
This one made me giggle — it converts to less than a $.02 USD discount on the boxes of cereal.
Yes, folks, hurry on over to Aisle 3 where we’re offering normally ridiculously priced tiny boxes of imported American cereal for 2 cents off the normal price!
