Do you ever get mad at your grocery store?

December 26th, 2011 at 08:34 pm

I do! I get mad when they overcharge me and I think it happens a lot to other people.
For example, twice one week, I bought bread that my husband likes cause it was on sale 2/$5. But both times, when I got home, I found I was charged $2.97 a loaf. Now that is only 47 cents off, but it is MY 47cents and I want it back.

Today, I did my grocery shopping. I entered the store and saw a sign that read "All pointsettas $1.00, so I bought one. When I checked out, I was charged $3 cause the pointsettas were coded $3.
She called a manager when I brought it up, but he said the pointsetta's were maked $3. I left with my cart, but went over to the flower display to look at the sign again. It read "ALL pointsettas $1.00.
I took the sign back to the cashier and showed her. Sure enough, I got a refund and got my pointsetta for just $1.00

I also saved $3 using my Ingles card which I am adding to the challenge.

Prev. total $20,176.00
today 3.00
new total $20,179.00

    Notice how the errors at checkout are always in THEIR favor?

    If you ever go to Walmart you will see the same display in different areas of the store marked with different special price signs. I hate when items scan the wrong price. I try to watch the display as the cashier scans but sometimes it gets away from me. So annoying!

    I tried to watch too, but this one got away from me, so I looked at the receipt before I left the store. Yes, the error is always in their favor. CCRAW, I don't buy much at Wal Mart.

    I sure do! And the other scam is to absolutely make sure that the sticker code/size/detail is exactly the same as the sign. What Safeway does often is put similar items next to each other - only one is on sale and they hope you grab the wrong one. I've been known to bring a digital camera with me and take a picture of the sign in question. If I get grief, I show 'em the picture.
