The regular stores here (not really grocery stores, just chain discounts) in the midlands of South Carolina are notorious for ringing up the *wrong* price (in their favor) as well. One Kmart here is especially known for doing it and then the excuse there is ALWAYS "oh, it was just put in the wrong section / labeled wrong / no longer on sale". I have gotten into so many arguments with them...lol
I don't know about everywhere else, but my mom discovered years ago that at grocery stores here, even though something might say "2 for $" or something, you DON'T have to buy 2 of them to get the sale price. It cleverly makes you think that, but we never do get two. We always get the sales price with just one product. That has been effective in Food Lion, Walmart, and BiLo down here.
Also, I find the cheapest meat is found when they get marked down for a quick sale. Usually they're 50-70% off of some great meat choices and nothing is wrong with them (yet). I always buy meat like that, then bring it home, divvy it up in freezer bags, and store it in the freezer.
