I spent the afternoon dissecting the price tag on a plain T‑shirt, and the more I looked, the more the extra cents revealed a pattern that only a methodical mind would see. The cashier’s scan line had a tiny surcharge that slipped under the radar, a hidden fee that turns a flat discount into a net loss if you’re not careful. I plotted the cost against the loyalty points earned, and the math proved that even a modest markup could be recouped over several purchases. It’s a small win, but the satisfaction of out‑scoring the system keeps me patient and ready for the next deal. Still, my mind lingers on that 0.99‑cents bump, wondering what other fees are lurking in the fine print. #frugalgains #detailhunter 😏
