A bargain at twice the price
When much younger in years, we had an A&P Food Store in our little town. For whatever reason, I can still recall a sign in their window that said “A bargain at twice the price” for some meat that was on sale for 39 cents a pound. (Kinda tells you how old I am)
Not sure why that memory sticks with me, probably because at the age of six, I didn’t quite get the meaning of it. Today, it is crystal clear. The edger pads which are on sale today for $49.99 each with the purchase of any 2 cases of finish, are MSRP of over $114.00. Twice $49.99 is $99.98 (high school math is now paying off). So, by my reckoning, if we had a sale on edger pads at $99.98 each, saving you $14, that’s a bargain.

But no, it is never that simple. Floor Style is selling them for $49.99 each, even though they’d be a bargain at twice the price.
