+565 You know stores think we are stupid when something that costs $40.00 is on sale for $39.99, amirite?

apparently they do it so that it's harder for the person behind the till to just pocket the money, and not put it in the till :)

even worse is when they put "Originally $39.99, now only $39.99!"

I swear I was at wal mart looking at the Beatles rock band. The price tag said "$159.00" and above that was an orange sticker that said "was $159.00" True story...

Once I saw an infomercial, and it said "Originally this product was the shocking price of $200, but we'll give it to you for the low low price of 4 payments of $49.99!"

Because stores love it when suckers buy sale items that aren't really on sale. :P
