When it comes to spending your money, comparing different
prices and products can really pay off.
Spendopolis’s specialty candy turns your tongue
different colors. The most famous, Orange-Os, melt in
your mouth, paint your tongue 25 colors, and cost $4.
The nameless, or generic,
Os are just as tasty, dye your tongue 23 colors, but
cost only $1. Cheap-Os, which taste like cheese and
turn your tongue green, cost 25 cents.
Sometimes prices will tell you something about the
quality of what you’re planning to buy. Cheap-Os
aren’t even worth the quarter they cost. But with
Orange-Os, you pay for the candy and for its cool packaging
and brand
name. The generic Os are almost as cool as Orange-Os
but cost a lot less. Are the two extra colors and the
Orange-Os box really worth $3 to you?
Sometimes looking for a good price means going to other
shops or waiting for the right sale to come along. In
Markup Market, Orange-Os are $5.50 – $1.50 more
than here. And during the annual Cavity-Free Planet
parade, Orange-Os go on sale at the Candy Cache. Hold
out until then, and you can buy them at a bargain price
of $2.50. Comparing prices or waiting for a sale can
save you a lot of money in the long run. And saving
money now means you’ll have more of it in the
future, when you might really need it.
