So do people at the flea market. My father in law goes to them all the time... he will put up prices like:

$1.50 each or 3 for $5 (Today only!)


...most people will buy 3!

I can believe that.

Also, please see below typical conversation when my wife comes back from the shops:

Sue: I bought some new boots today. They were reduced from £100 to £50. I've saved us £50!
Me: No - you've spent £50
Sue: No, I've saved £50!

I've seen exactly the same at most of the big supermarkets here, in a range of different formats. General rule is that most people won't (can't?) do arithmetic.... [No slur intended; there have been studies in the UK showing that the basic arithmetic of many adults is disappointing at best.]

Just be glad she tells you about the saving. I don't. The boots just go in the wardrobe until such time I can honestly say 'no darling, they are not new. I had them for ages'.
