    Sometimes. Ususally it is buy 2 get 1 free deal so it is almost 30% off if you buy 3 similar priced items. I've also seen get 1 full price and the other is 50% off. So you could get up to 25% off each if they are the same price.

    Target or K-Mart are more or less the only stores that give a percentage off all TFs no matter which one you buy. Of course it isn't 30%.

    Here it is only TRU with the $13 price tag. Crazy by comparison. As far as country difference goes, all I can say is that in the US we have to generally go into incredible debt in college to get decent jobs that work us a lot of hours and that allows us to get by, but plumits us into debt for the rest of our lives. I have a really good, well paying job, but I will probably always be in debt. Anyways, I have no idea about other countrys costs of anything or what it takes to get by, so I am not saying it's better or worse.

    I take it you haven't bought a TF at TRU in awhile. The Classics have been that price for months.

    Yeah, and based on Suncoast MPC and KayBee, that's a great formula for going out of business.
