We're staying in Nashville overnight on our way somewhere else and enjoyed walking around on a weekend evening.

We noticed that all of the stores selling cowboy boots (and there are multiple) have a "buy one get two pairs free" offer. All boots in the store we checked out seem to be priced at $300+. So, instead of simply offering discount boots at ~$100, they're leading you to think you're getting $300-quality boots and $600 of "free" value in the extra pairs. Framed like that, who could possibly refuse?
