$847.63 (Henry asked)

I never thought the register said “NRA4EVER,” as was insisted in the 138 Episode Spectacular. But what’s the meaning of 847.63? Well, the best answer I’ve seen:
No. It says 847.63, the price of raising a baby for a month. Anyone who tells you that it’s NRA4EVER fell for the prank in 138th Episode Spectacular, where it was said to be the latter.
Update: As Matt Haughey points out, $847.63 is the amount it cost to raise a baby many years ago, likely sometime around 1989-90, since that’s when the Simpsons began. It’s very probably much more expensive these days.
