| Terry | What do you think of my new suit ? |
| Michael | Not bad. I like the wide lapels and the pant cuffs. It reminds me of one I saw in the department store the other day. Did you get it there ? |
| Terry | No, I got it at that new outfitters on the main street. |
| Michael | How much did it cost ? |
| Terry | Three hundred and fifty dollars. |
| Michael | What ? You could have got the one from the department store for $200. You've been ripped off ! |
| Explanation : |

| Example : The Consumer federation claims banks are ripping you off by not passing along savings on interest rates ... |
