The value story
Across all 43 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Me after getting the infernal screeching baby taken away from me for the 9th time after wandering through identical hallways with randomly-generated room numbers for an hour: "Video games are bad."
