what a deal!

i just had a really awesome deal at Staples Office Depot. this store is reputed for their amazing price match policy. they'd sell you the item on the lowest price it is being sold by their competitors, plus 50% of the difference from their price. In my case, I found that HP Photosmart 7760 is on sale starting today at BestBuy for 99.99. I checked Staples' online price and it's 187.50! I almost bit my tounge in excitement and immediately asked wifey to go check it out and request for a pricematch. She's going there anyway to photocopy some documents. We got lucky, there's only one stock remaining and we got it price-matched with BestBuy's. Minor bad news, the price in store is only 179.99 so we have to use that amount. But hey, it still an amazing deal!

179.99 - 99.99 = 80 (price difference)
to compute for the price-matched value, use competitor's selling price:
99.99 - 40 (50% of price difference) = 59.99!!

now, where can you buy a really nice printer at the price? tell me i'm not lucky!
