The second row, captioned Thursday, depicts the same.
In the third row, captioned Black Friday, the there is a label with $1099.99 struck through with "$899.99" written underneath, and Wallace charges.

in slovenia we just passed a law that requires shops to state the price change of an item in the last 30 days :)
All of EU is adopting this practice to comply with the EU Price Indication Directive.
I think its a thing here in norway as well. Thats why they just increase the price in early october, just a month ahead of black week bullcrap. Have seen plenty of electronics "super discounted" to the same price they had in september/october

As a past retail worker. Black Friday was miserable. I worked at Bestbuy. I saw a lot of people breakdown and quit thay day due to the stress. Don't encourage it. If you do go out. Be respectful and remember it's just things that don't really matter. I have never gone out and don't support it especially the trickling of businesses forcing employees to work on Thanksgiving.
Years ago, in October I wanted to buy a new TV, my wife said we should wait for black Friday but I just bought it anyway. I keep checking the price day after day and the price of it keep rising slowly every day, until black Friday when it had a 40% sale off and was still more expensive of what I paid two months before.
These transcriptions are getting incredible. I never would have thought it was possible to accurately convey a comic through text, while keeping the meaning and humour intact.
Oh, you're too kind. I can't nearly compete with the masterpieces shown over at alttexthalloffame.org :))
Speaking of sweet Black Friday deals, I came across this gem recently and chuckled a bit, the nerve.

The only way to know if a Black Friday price is good is to know the usual "regular" price of the item. That takes planning to jot the price down a month or more in advance and then wait to see what the Black Friday price is. It's all a game.
Tbf, it depends. I just bought a pair of converse for 25 bucks. Granted they’re an unpopular color, but hey 25 bucks for a pair of chuck 70s is a good price.
