on March 1st will also win a case of champagne.
Homer arrives at the shop the night before the sale to ensure that he is first in the queue but,
unfortunately, he falls asleep before opening time and the next person in the queue enters the shop
first, winning the champagne.
Homer finds a TV that he wants to purchase, however the manager refuses to give him the television
at half price.
