You are the type of person who often opts not to make a purchase, even though it could be problematic down the road. Family and friends occasionally strap large packages to your back for no apparent reason. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors wanting to buy either a rechargeable battery for your computer or shoe laces for your snow boots. Be on the lookout for bottles of barbeque sauce that act TOO innocent. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter V, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 498846. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).

As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.

The price that exists when a market is clear of shortage and surplus, or is in equilibrium. Market-clearing price is a common, non-technical term for equilibrium price. In a market graph, the market-clearing price is found at the intersection of the demand curve and the supply curve.

How do we know, like the name of the long-running game show, if "The Price is Right?" How are retail prices set and do they really tell us the value of a product?
