Pumps' Perplexities

Its three days after Christmas and two days after Boxing Day.....
The stores still are having their sales of Christmas and other
Holiday items........

Went into my local K-Mart only to find an item I bought about
a month ago that I had to ship to a friend, out-of-state......
The item was at half price (remember my 50% off blog).....
I have no problem with the current price.....But here is the
history of the item's pricing......

On December 1st the item was sold for $9.99......A fair price
and so I bought it.......On December 15th, the same item was
now being sold for "buy one, get one free"......Price now was
$4.995 each.......I still have no problem with the price because
it is a "marketing decision".......

Here it now is, after the Christmas holiday, and the price is
once again list $9.99 with 50% off @ $5.00.......It seems
that the "retailer" made their percent of profit, prior to
December 25th and after, during the post-Christmas sale......

I guess the only bargain is Christmas cards a 1/2 price and
sometimes I even "wonder" about that.....Pumps
