I bought something in a store a few months ago. It was “on sale” for $39.99. I visited the same store just a few days ago, and the same item was “marked down” from $59.99 to $49.99. But the govmint says inflation is just 2.5%. It looks like (using questionable application of mathematics) 25% per quarter, or 100% per year.

The more honest you are, the more suspicious they are.

That and the perpetual “going out of business” sale are the hallmark of some stores.

when borders books closed they said liquidating 50% off and in tiny letters msrp. So the price was about the normal price.

Truth in advertising. I’d buy that for 10% on.
