The price of two at the first store is $19 + 0.50*$19 = $28.50 The price of the two at the second store is 2*(0.8*$24.99) = 2*$19.99 = $39.98
The choice is clear. The first store offers a better deal, even if you only want one item.

The 2nd one is a ripoff.  You spend MORE.  However, it rounds out to almost the same.  You're not really saving very much at all.  It is better to wait 'til after the holidays when the sales go on.  Be shopper smart.  They know how to get you if you aren't smart.

Depends on if your looking for a deal at christ/mas time (my above comments).i wait til after christmas when everything is put on sale .hopefully they will go down to $12.99 like last year. 3 for the price of one. Oh! And 3 out of five stars for answering. I am over my quota again. I wish blurt it would change it so the person asking the question could rate all the answers they get for their questions. This is irritating not being able to give ratings to my own questions. : )

Five stars ***** yep! I was at kmart's today and overheard a woman ask her friend what is 40% off of 14.99 so i thought i would do a actual real life question on here. It amazes me how much money people would save if they knew how to do a quick calculation on a pocket calculator or in thier head. $14.25 each for the first deal(before tax) ,$20 each for the second deal (before tax).

No! U ask urself!(yourself) just kidding : ). Let's put it this way if i can buy 2 on sale for the same price it would have cost regularly then i got one for free basically,that i can use or give you one. : ) haha. Right now i am waiting for the after christmas sale to really get a deal.buy 3 for the same price as one at regular price.: ).just a example for getting a deal at the store. :)
