I'm just wondering if it's a way to give savvy shoppers a sale without having a sale.

That happened for me once. One of my kids was turning 4 or 5 (don't remember, getting old) and wanted this Power Rangers talking helmet that you could download updates via USB to. I saw Star Wars and Transformer versions for $50 and figured for his BDay I would get one. It just got stocked and when I went to check out they couldnt figure out price and manager said how about $20? I said for that price I would take the other 3 as well. When I got to the register he told the cashier to make it $5 each and for $20 I got $200 worth and gave them to a lot of happy kids for their birthdays. I did ask ask the manager if he was sure first and he said yup. Tell you what, all things considered I go to that Target a lot more ever since, not bc I am waiting to see if it happens again but bc the Manager basically sold me on Target as a "will do anything" for the customer organization and as a marketing skill that manager assured I spent a lot more there. So win-win I think for them in the end.
