King Cheapo stikes again

My second alter-ego - King Cheapo - appeared for the first time in ages today. I am notorious for being ... umm .... not overly generous with my money. So I am in the shops wondering how I can get enough money together to buy BSG S2 on DVD. Right now it is usually AUS$65 at the store I was in. As I look through the cabinet for the boxset, I have a momentary panic when I see that they have all gone, only to notice that there is one set left on the shelf but it is flat on the shelf rather than upright (and that's why I missed it on first glance). I don't know why but I went to have a closer look but I did. In the stampede that followed, I think I elbowed two grannies out of the way, kicked at least one infant in the face and headbutted the guy who looked like he was going to get to the counter before me.
The reason? Well the price sticker on that very last boxset read AUS$24.95(that's just US$18.78 for those of you playing in the US!)
So I am now the proud owner of Battlestar Galactica Season 2 for about a third of its usual price. That deserves both a "WOO" and a "HOO"!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
