Goodwill stores in my area offers 5% off if you spend $20 or higher before tax. That means if I find a couch for $19.99, I do not qualify for a discount because I didn't hit $20 mark.
So see...2 scenairos....
A. I buy couch for $19.99 plus tax.
B. I buy couch for $19.99 and a book for $.89. Total $20.88 plus tax before discount. Now, I get that 5% discount. So, when you take $20.88 plus 5% discount, you'll see it's less than $19.99 before tax.
So you see how it works...I get a book and I actually get my couch for a bit less. Weird, but if we can use this to our advantage, great!!!
