went in today to buy an employee a printing calculator, saw that there were two casio models side by side, one was a higher model but a lower price. thinking there was something going on, i take it to the register and it scans for 73.99, but the shelf tag said 39.99. i didn't think anything of it, walking back to the cal. section i see an associate and ask him about their pricing policy and he says that if an item scans for a different price that is listed, you get the item at that price. so i show him the calc. and he says that it was a mistake and calls a manager over and they remove the tag and tell a cashier to ring me up for the 39.99 price. what makes this deal even sweeter was that i had a 10 off 40 gift card that they had mailed me. so:

73.99 cal. for 39.99 = 34.99 + 10 disc. = 44.99 discount. not bad at all in my book
