What is he world coming to?<br /><br />You are right as well re the $30 job shirt deal - it's a bargain.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Capt.

You know, I got the zak-sane thing down at Cheap Town for $19.95 last week - but I think the sale's over now.</i><br /><br />Then there's me, coming in right on the heels of the bargain critic and their 'better deal'. <i>You paid twenty bucks for that? You're kidding, right? I got it for ten down at Dollar Daze, and that's because I didn't feel like waiting around for the sale price. I think the sale's next week sometime.</i><br /><br />What makes this a better line is if you can corner the originator later on and explain that you lied, and that you suspect the bargain critic lied as well - you don't really believe that anyone could sell a $40 item for $20, and you wanted to pull his chain a little.<br /><br />$35 is a great price for a shirt like that, but what really got my attention is the 'no additional charge for large sizes'. Usually the sale vanishes around XL.<br /><br />Thanks for the link.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.com
