I was at OW today and saw a 2 pack of ipod nano covers on the bargain table. The price tag had (I think) $9 crossed out, and then $1 crossed out, and was labelled $0.84. Even though I never considered buying a cover for my ipod nano, in the true spirit of bargains, I decided to buy one. I mean, the cheapest on ebay is probably a dollar, and this was two of them. So I took them to the counter and when it was scanned, it turned out to be $0.30, which came as a pleasant surprise. Even the checkout person was wondering why it was so cheap, and asking me what it was for and considering grabbing one.
I took a look on the OW site after I got home, and it would appear that it actually costs $0.63, but is out of stock, as expected.

And the one that's in stock is $6.

Only after I opened it did I realize that it actually came with screen protectors and a microfiber cloth. So all in all, I reckon it was a pretty good deal.
Well, here's what it's like.

Not really a bargain per se, due to the quantity available and the probability that it was only a store special, but I thought I'd just post this up for fun :)
