What a deal!
Visitors to New York City should be aware that there are some amazing deals available here. Just the other day, I strolled into one of the many typical tourist shops that dot the Times Square area, and was staggered at the savings to be had. 
For instance, this fine t-shirt, one of many "subway stop" shirts available for purchase, could be had for a mere $19.99. This might not seem that great of a deal, but a closer look at the price tag will reveal just how much of a bargain it is. Clearly stated on the tag is the retail price: $64.99. Wow. That's almost a $45 savings, more than 50% off! What a great city. America is truly the land of discount t-shirts. Odd, though, that the New York Metro Transit Authority retails the same shirts for $19. I suppose the $65 shirt is a designer shirt, or better quality, or something. Must be.
