Sale hacking
The Consumerist has a tip about price codes at various retail stores regarding their deals. If you check the price for a given product, it will vary based on where it is in its “sale cycle”.
“The popularity of yesterday’s “Target Price Drop Hack” post helped rustle out some other retailer’s secret pricing codes:
Sears: 99: regular 98: No coupons or sales 88: closeout 97: clearance/discontinued 93: refurb/open-box
CircuitCity: 98: local price match 97: open box item 96: limited stock item, either oop (out of production) or so new that supplies are not regular yet 95: clearance oop product
OfficeDepot: Prices not ending in 0,9 or 5 are final markdowns.
Target: 9: full price 8: clearance 4: final markdown
RadioShack, Gap, many retailers: 7: final markdown”
That’s awesome, thank you for the head’s up. I used to read The Consumerist, but forgot to keep checking at some point.

I’ll keep hold of the Calphalon pan deal. Too bad we’re almost out of wall space on the back porch. ;-)
