People think they're getting a deal when the price ends in .99, even if the price is 1 cent different. People are more inclined to buy shit at 1.99, than they are at 2.00. And lots of people see "sale" and buy shit even if they don't need it OR its not actually saving money.

I hate to say that my wife falls for this shit. She thinks we're saving money. She says "look, it's only 19.99!" I'll say "you mean it's 20 bucks" My favorite is a car priced at 19,999. Thank GOD it's under 20 grand.
