I have a few more in my head, but not a lot. But when I see the price
in the store, I know if it's high or low. If that makes any sense.

I buy Coke around any holiday, sometimes you get as many as 5 12 packs
for $10. 3 for $12 is high for where I shop. It's one of those things
where there is such a huge disparity between full price and the sale
price that I feel ripped off if I don't get it on sale.
