The 99 Cents Store

EVE:  Did you go to the 99 Cents store?
JANE:  Yes, I did.
EVE:  What did you buy?
JANE:  Well, I got a lot of good deals, as usual.
EVE:  Like what?
JANE:  Well, a dozen large eggs were only 99 cents.
EVE:  That’s a good deal.
JANE:  And a one-pound tub of soft butter was the same price.
EVE:  Another good deal.
JANE:  But the best deal was five pounds of potatoes for 99 cents.
EVE:  I don’t know how that store makes money.
JANE:  Neither do I, but they’re doing something right.

Good deal:  a large number or amount, good or great value, good or great price
Best deal: best price, best value, cheapest
Dozen: 12 pieces
Pound: weight measurement (almost half a kilo)
