I'm really late to the game on this one, and there are too many places I want to put this comment, so hell, I'll just drop it here at the top level.
This button prevents you from playing the "specials" game.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Australia, our groceries are put on special once month for a week or so 30-50% off regular retail. (I would love to see this graphed out somewhere.)
I assume the reason is so that, people that don't care how much their groceries cost, or don't have the foresight to buy in advance pay 30-50% more than somebody who buys things when they are on special.
I like to think the special price is the actual price, and the regular price is the suckers price.
