Bargain Hunting!

Puzzle Notes

Dear Crossword Nation Friends,

Let's face it -- who doesn't love a bargain? When I buy a pair of chunky-heeled ankle boots on sale, WITH a coupon AND using the store's SUPER-SAVER points -- there's a feeling of accomplishment. I feel that I've defeated the store in five sets with my purchasing prowess - even though I suspect that, historically, my retail-price purchases have contributed to the store's healthy profit margin. But still -- one loves to dream of bargain braggin' rights.

Today's puzzle riffs on this theme. Welcome to Week 699 of Crossword Nation. Please enjoy "Bargain Hunting!" as your diversion of the week. Happy solving and be well!
