ABSTRACT:
In a store, a method of using a processing unit for marking down a package having an associated package specific price and an associated special package specific price is provided. The method includes the steps of (a) in the processing unit, receiving identifying information regarding the package; (b) identifying a discount for the package; (c) applying the discount to establish both a reduced package specific price and a reduced special package specific price; and (d) printing at least one discount label by a printer associated with the processing unit, including printing on the label each of (1) a scannable discount bar code, (2) the reduced package specific price and (3) the reduced special package specific price. The “identifying information” could be any of a variety of pieces of information such as, by way of example, a PLU, a package specific price, a special package specific price, a package serial number, a package weight, a price per unit weight, a special price per unit weight, or various combinations of the same.
