50 Percent Times Two

Kit Kat was scheduled to go shopping with Momoko this weekend. However Little Kat needed some winter clothes. So all three of them went shopping. They went to Walmart instead of Target. There was not many items on our Target shoppig list.

Momoko found that Halloween candy was 50 percent off. She kind of thought that would be the case. She loaded up on our favorites. At the checkout register, the guy started ringing up some of the candy as full price. Good thing Momoko was keeping an eye on the prices. She informed the clerk that candy was supposed to be 50 percent off.

Momoko got the double bonus on some of the candy. The Walmart cashier just took 50 percent off all the candy prices. Turns out some of that candy was already ringing up as 50 percent off. Therefore Momoko got double the 50 percent off. If my math serves me correctly, that means she paid 25 percent off retail.

The sad part about the Walmart economics is that even when you pay 25 percent of the retail price, the store still makes a profit. Oh well. We are partying with the extra candy. By the way, Little Kat got some nice outfits. Many of them came with a shirt and cap combo.
