So this is how discounting works

We went shopping for an electric shaver. We came home not with a shaver, but with an iron. We have found a pretty nice store here: Briscoes. Briscoes is a kind of small elite K-mart that sells mainly tableware and small electrical appliances. They know how to do discounts pretty well too.

A top-of the-line iron, original price $150 (€75, US$100), on sale for $99, completed with an extra discount of 40% on all irons, except for those who already had a discount, except the ones that were discounted especially for the sale. Are you still with me? We didn't understand it either, the result however was that we only had to pay $60. These kinds of discounts happen quite often over here, so when you shop around you can obtain your household goods for a pretty cheap price :-) I still didn't get a shaver though…

By the way, the picture is of the sunset we have enjoyed this evening during dinner, just by looking through our dining room window!
