I recently started working at a new place. They do a lot of catalogs here and their price points are really complicated. I thought that I would be able to do them much easier using some GREP formatting and some Nested Paragraph and Object Styles.
This is the result. If anyone is interested in how I did it and would like to test it to see if it could be simplified (I am still a bit of a novice) I will post the Style Sheet information below.

Here is the styling information (I hope it is understandable. The names of the styles are preceded by a bullet point)
