I feel like I am getting such a deal just because I'm not paying the full price! <br /><br />I have been saving all those pennies and intend to deposit them in the kids' savings accounts. It will all add up...Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-24277122843339284592010-04-14T17:48:46.919-07:002010-04-14T17:48:46.919-07:00Interesting..I like to think I am not swayed..but ...Interesting..I like to think I am not swayed..but perhaps I am..I look for sales.

The unit price is the cost per ounce or similar. That's the factor that determines what I buy.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-57588421463202661302010-04-13T19:45:05.756-07:002010-04-13T19:45:05.756-07:00DJ, it's the same thing here, every item for s...DJ, it's the same thing here, every item for sale is priced with either .99 or .75 cents and what's annoying sometimes is, they don't have any 1 cent or .25 cents for change instead they will give a piece of candy for their negligence. BS! (Oops sorry for that word!) it's just annoying.<br /><br />ALAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492525710308662179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-90249449650893775632010-04-13T17:48:33.754-07:002010-04-13T17:48:33.754-07:00Yes, we are all susceptible to the ploys of greate...Yes, we are all susceptible to the ploys of greater minds, but if I'm coming home with something, I can't justify the 10.00 item over the 9.99 one in my own mind!
