價格背後隱藏着大祕密

So you're at Target, you've find an item on sale, and you're wondering—just for fun—how good of a deal you're getting. Is this the final clearance price? Or will the price drop even further next week?

在Target逛街時,你看着打折的商品不禁會想：我到底從中能得到多大的實惠呢？下週它的折扣力度會不會更大？

Turns out, there's a simple way to tell. At many stores, the price tag itself will tell you exactly what's going on with that item's price. Here's the code at Target, according to :

然而，我們有一個簡單明瞭的方法來辨別商品的價格。在許多商店裏，價格標籤會直接告訴你這件商品的價格走勢。據網站介紹，Target標籤上居然藏有有這些祕密：

Items with prices ending in $0.09 are the regular price

價格以0.09結尾的是常規價

Items with prices ending in $0.06 or $0.08 are discounted (example $4.38)

以0.06或0.08結尾的是折後價（比如$4.38）

Items with prices ending in $0.04 are the final clearance price

以0.04結尾的是最終價格

Additionally, you can look at what percent off an item is.

此外，你還可以知曉某件商品現在打的是幾折。

The small number at the top right corner of the price tag will tell you.

價格標籤右上角的小數字代表的就是折扣。

“Most of the time, items will be 30, 50, 70, which means it is 30 percent, 50 percent, 70 percent clearance,” former Target executive team leader Lynda Peralta, founder of The Pocket Palette, told Reader's Digest. “You rarely see something go on clearance for 90 percent, and that is usually candy from a holiday.”

Lynda Peralta 以前在Target做組長，現在是The Pocket Palette 的創始人，他在接受Reader's Digest採訪時說： “這些數字大多數時候是30、50、70，它們代表着30%、50%和70%的折扣。90%很少見，基本上打這個折扣的都是些糖果。”
