PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically provide conditioned bargain sales service for customers. SOLUTION: The central processing arithmetic means (counting means) 70 of the article sales managing device has a bargain sales managing function 71. This bargain sales managing function 71 counts a temporary purchase total amount of money from the identifiers of articles that a customer purchases and decides the sales price of a bargain sale article for a final purchase total amount of the customer when the bargain sale application condition is satisfied that the identifier of the bargain sale article of article management information is included among the identifiers of the articles that the customer purchases and the temporary purchase total amount is larger than the least purchase total amount or the identifier of the purchase-specified article is included among the identifiers of the articles to be purchased. The temporary purchase total amount is regarded as the final purchase total amount when the identifier of the bargain sale article is not included among the identifiers of the articles to be purchased, the temporary purchase total amount is less than the least purchase total amount, or the identifier of the purchase-specified article is not included.
