My favorite thing in the 80s was to leave my parents and look at the toy aisles....it was customary to look at each box of the same set to see if they made a mistake with the price tag...usually the ones in the back that had been put out earlier
My major find was a dollar off the spaceman set at gold circle...mom had to get me that!

Flash forward to 2 years ago at a big box store 12/26. The price for set was 20$ or so off. The compassionate highly focused cashier rang up the set and said it wasn't on sale "because that's not what the computer said" I went and got the tag on the shelf and brought it back to her...she said "I cannot believe you took that off the shelf" to which I said" well it's not doing anybody any good!". I thought the big box store security was going To get me booted out but they were arguing at the register about getting their employee discount on legos!
25$ vs 45$ ..I'm just lucky the computer didn't say $70 because thats what the wheel said

Ha ha I thought the price is right ended with the showcase showdown, the price was right for me, but it ended in the cashier/register showdown
