The actual retail price is... $1,200! Arp! You finally did it! Come on up here, right up here to the turntable. Ayjo, let's see that prize!

And we have a treat for longtime TPiR fans nostalgic for ye goode olde days! It's...
The long-retired Super Saver, making a comeback for Jul TPiR!
Anyhow, the game is simple. There are six products up there, five of which are price *below* their actual retail prices, and one which is *more* expensive. I'm going to ask you to "buy" four of those products. If you pick ones that are indeed less expensive than they should be, you'll have saved money in the difference between the listed price and the actual price. The object of the game is to have saved at least $1.00. Now, mind you, it's still mathematically possible to win, even if you pick that one rogue higher priced item! Now, Ayjo, tell us about those products.

First, we have a family-size bag of Chee! Cheese Crackers. Known for their cute little squirrel mascot and their great cheese flavor, we put the "Chee!" in "Cheese"!
Next, a four-pack of Supertuff Batteries. Guaranteed to last nearly forever, right up to the time you decide to explore a dark cave with only a battery-powered lantern! That graphic only shows two, because we're cheap.
Third, the world-famous (?) Choco-Tart! Makes a fine fancy-looking dessert, with a rich chocolately taste, and at a price that probably won't bankrupt you!
Then we have Clog-B-Gone Drain Cleaner, guaranteed to knock out the clogs in record time, with special CLOG KILLER technology. Hell if I'd know, though. I don't speak Drain Cleaner.
Hill o' Beans Coffee presents, French Roast Supreme, supposedly different from their regular French Roast. Hey, it's "Supreme", so it's gotta be better, right?
Finally, a package of (presumably) fresh "Shrooooooooms!" brand mushrooms! Guaranteed to please at the very least, Mario. And there you have it.
All right, Arp. Which of these products will you buy first?
