Walmart shelf price vs. price in the system

The Walmart near me conveniently has the "scan here for price" thingy right in the Lego section. When I'm over buying groceries, I'll hit the Lego aisle and scan a bunch of items looking for a mismarked item. The annoying part is the super loud beep each time you scan something. Anyway..... I've noticed a few big sets that are gradually decreasing in price in the scanner system - but the price marked on the shelf stays exactly the same. There's a particular $119.99 set that was at about $105 for a week, then $100 even, now today it was at (if I remember right) $84.95. I've watched it go down in price over the course of a month. Same for another large set. And I see several others where the shelf price is $99.99, but the scanner will say something like $99.36. Off less than a dollar, but maybe that's a sign that it'll soon be less than $99.36, and maybe a bunch lower. Anyone have any experience following trends like this, and then scoring?
