Went to Target today because they are offering 2nd item in ladies linen clothing at half price. Lined up and paid for 2 x $40 shirts and 2 x $20 t - shirts. Was expecting the total discount to be $30 ......checked receipt to find the discount was only $20.... Because they paired the cheapest with the dearest. Went and had a coffee to think this through. Returned the 4 items and then purchased them as 2 seperate transactions - discount now equalled the expected $30.... Wonder how many people have been stung?
Well, a lot would accept the sale.
Many do not even think.
Coffee was an awfully good idea.

I worked that out before I got stung!
Purchased 2 pairs of swimmers for children, scanned at $18 each and got both for $27. Went back and got 2 pairs that scanned for $7 but were marked at $22, I got both for $10.50.
Went again yesterday and did similar, 2 pairs that were $20 each, $30.

It does tell you on the offers. So not so much sneaky as just read all the fine print. It is standard that the half price discount will come off the cheaper item, not just at Target. I do multiple transactions to make the best of it, too ๐

Christmas shopping 45% done.
They just work on this - if not noticed - not noticed.

The customer needs to be sneaky to get the biggest discount.
Buy 1 get second at 50% off = 25% of each item
Not thatgreat really.

Even as a callow youth, I knew the value of a penny...........I used to buy model paints (@15 cents each) at a nearby drugstore. No tax on one, but buy 2, and the cost hits the first level of sales tax. So I would buy one, then come back 30 seconds later with another, and yet another.............until the store owner said, "Just buy however many you need, no tax."
