6. The 99 Cents Store


A: Did you go to the 99 Cents store?

B: Yes, I did.

A: What did you buy?

B: Well, I got a lot of good deals, as usual.

A: Like what?

B: Well, a dozen large eggs were only 99 cents.

A: That's a good deal.

B: And a one-pound tub of soft butter was the same price.

A: Another good deal.

B: But the best deal was five pounds of potatoes for 99 cents.

A: I don't know how that store makes money.

B: Neither do I, but they're doing something right.
