What is the real price?

"ahmward" <nospam.ahmw...@yahoo.com>
Is there any site that tracks sales at stores? I was at the JC Penny
Home Store and found a cabinet that may suit my storage needs. The
price for the two parts together was more than what they would cost
separately and then when I asked the SA, I was told one price was wrong
but for the sale that started today they would be 30% with an extra 10%
(couldn't she have said 40%) off. It was my first time in the store and
I have no idea if the price will be more or less next week. Is there
any way to find out the best sale price for merchandise at specific
stores?

I've never seen one that was worth the hassle involved using it;
there are some message boards which track sales and so on, but I've
found combing through the messages more hassle than just checking
websites or looking at sales flyers. fatwallet.com was a site I
checked a couple of times which had good info, but a lot of traffic to
comb through. That's been a couple of years ago though.

I wonder why she didn't offer to fix it for you then! :/

It's not quite the same, though you'd think it would be at first
glance.
$10 – 40% off = $6
($10 – 30% off) – 10% off = $6.30

Well, it's not the same thing as a 40% markdown.
A 30% markdown followed by an additional extra 10% markdown is not the
same thing as a 40% markdown. The 10% comes off the already reduced
price, not the original price.

That's true. It's all such a game. The marked down price is what I had
budgeted for the item. I just want to make sure I am paying a fair
price.
