Better title would be "eight pricing tricks". It would be neat to read a blog post on fundamental pricing strategies, like price points, value pricing, cost-based pricing, loss leading, and so on.

It's a fine blog post --- except for the Arby's part --- but if someone has something more substantive, I'd love to read it.

Apparently, people perceive different numbers differently with respect to their value. I'm not sure how to say this, but the point is that something that costs 99 cents appears cheaper than 1 dollar. The number for which the difference is greatest and most beneficial for the seller is 77, according to Chicago Business School.
