    “Anything under 5 dollars is free, returning something that didn’t fit is profit, a 30% off sale means you’re earning that 30% or by not making the purchase losing that money” rules like those. It’s mostly used sarcastically but is occasionally used as a legitimate justification for poor spending habits. I didn’t make it up or apply it to any group.
