So you're at Target, you've find an item on sale, and you're wondering—just for fun—how good of a deal you're getting. Is this the final clearance¹ price? Or will the price drop even further next week?

在Target逛街时,你看着打折的商品不禁会想：我到底从中能得到多大的实惠呢？下周它的折扣力度会不会更大？

Turns out, there's a simple way to tell. At many stores, the price tag itself will tell you exactly what's going on with that item's price. Here's the code at Target, according to thekrazycouponlady.com:

然而，我们有一个简单明了的方法来辨别商品的价格。在许多商店里，价格标签会直接告诉你这件商品的价格走势。据thekrazycouponlady.com网站介绍，Target标签上居然藏有有这些秘密：

Items with prices ending in $0.09 are the regular price

价格以0.09结尾的是常规价

Items with prices ending in $0.06 or $0.08 are discounted (example $4.38)

以0.06或0.08结尾的是折后价（比如$4.38）

Items with prices ending in $0.04 are the final clearance price

以0.04结尾的是最终价格

Additionally, you can look at what percent off an item is.

此外，你还可以知晓某件商品现在打的是几折。

The small number at the top right corner of the price tag will tell you.

价格标签右上角的小数字代表的就是折扣。

“Most of the time, items will be 30, 50, 70, which means it is 30 percent, 50 percent, 70 percent clearance,” former Target executive² team leader Lynda Peralta, founder³ of The Pocket Palette, told Reader's Digest. “You rarely see something go on clearance for 90 percent, and that is usually candy from a holiday.”

Lynda Peralta 以前在Target做组长，现在是The Pocket Palette 的创始人，他在接受Reader's Digest采访时说： “这些数字大多数时候是30、50、70，它们代表着30%、50%和70%的折扣。90%很少见，基本上打这个折扣的都是些糖果。”
