Christmas Shopping II

We put the mod­i­fied Plan A into action this morn­ing. We went back out to our local mall and shopped for stuff we wanted and brought it home. I’ll wrap the stuff for her and she’ll wrap my stuff. We’ll act all sur­prised on Christ­mas morn­ing, “Oh, it’s just what I wanted. How did you know?”

I bought a cou­ple of long sleeve polo shirts for win­ter wear at Sears. The orig­i­nal price was $36, they were on a rack with a big tag that said, 40% OFF. At the reg­is­ter they were tak­ing an addi­tional 10% off for an Early Bird Spe­cial, so the shirts cost me around nine­teen and a half bucks. What are they really worth, prob­a­bly just that, a saw­buck. What did Sears pay for them in the first place, prob­a­bly $10.…and they wanted $36.
