[Guest post by My Brilliant Brother]

Here’s a brief topic: I went to Target the other day to pick up a waffle iron. I went in thinking a waffle iron costs somewhere in the $30-$50 range.

So, I saw the $70 stainless version and I saw the $20 version and a few in between. I picked up the $20 version feeling very happy with my purchase.

On the way out, I saw at the end of the isle a bunch of rejects and there I saw a similar waffle iron for $5.98. The box was crushed but the iron itself appeared to be in good condition. So, I returned the $20 iron to the shelf, selected the reject and made my way to the cashier. To my surprise they had discounted it further to $2.98.

I got out of there keeping $30-$2.98=$27.02 in my pocket. This is the additional portion of the price that I was willing to pay but ended up keeping for myself rather than adding to Target’s coffers.

What did Target do wrong, if anything? And, what do I do with the money I saved?

But haven’t been able to blog.  Here are my excuses:

(pick one)

1. My daughter uploaded all my blog photos to the wrong computer.
2. The sun has been shining too much, and there’s lots of dirt out there to shovel.
3. It snowed today.  SNOWED!
4. I have too many things to blog about and can’t focus on any one of them.
5. I don’t have enough things to blog about and don’t want to be boring.
6. We need groceries.
7. Someone might actually read what I write.
8. Maybe no one will read what I write.
9. I care too much about everything.
10. I don’t care enough about anything.

I imagine I’ll get over it eventually.  Maybe next week, or maybe in a couple of hours.  Meanwhile, what can you do?
