Bad Deals, Good Deals

These days, every company seems to be bombarding consumers with great deals in one form or another. Just in case you’re a bit rusty, I’d like to present a brief refresher course.

Here are some bad deals:

• MovableType Personal Edition for $69.95 (supports up to three users and up to five weblogs)
• One gallon of gasoline for $2.00
• Two scoops of ice cream at Baskin Robbins for $2.99

Here are some good deals:

• One half-gallon of Edy’s ice cream for $1.50 (on sale at Stop and Shop)
• A six-inch sub, 21-oz drink, and bag of chips at Subway for $2.18 (with a full Sub Club card)
• Up to ten hours of parking at the CambridgeSide Galleria, nights and weekends, for $3 (less if you validate with a restaurant)
• Taco Bell

I hope you’ve enjoyed this lesson!
