Long's Drugs uses a simple letter/number code to indicate on its price tags the wholesale cost for each item on sale. The code has been cracked and now you can find out exactly how much Long's makes on your purchases!
So, for example, if a candy bar has a retail price of 0.44, it might have a cost code of HL, indicating that Longs Drugs pays 0.25 for it.Link (via Waxy)The Longs Drugs Price code appears in the middle of many of their on-shelf pricetags. It is two, three or four letters.
Here, the ANT stands for 308, meaning that the Longs Store paid $3.08 for the M&Ms, and will make 91 on the retail sale.
Update: Jack sez, "It might also be interesting to note that Walgreens uses a similar system, except with the word BRUSHCLEAN B1 R2 U3 S4 H5 C6 L7 E8 A9 N0"
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
