LOL. I like it. I used to have a similar economic theory about sales:
Back in the days when Filene's Basement was really in the basement of the Filene's store in Boston, ie, before it got sold off and opened up as a multi-store chain completely unlike the original.....my friends and I would go to the basement (that is what we called it) and if we found something that was a really good deal, we considered the difference between the super-reduced price and the original price to be "found money". So, for example, if you found a $100 dress for only $20, you now were $80 richer! Now you had $80 to spend that you didn't have before.
(the reality was that even the $20 dress was not really in my budget anyway).
