Re: Saving Tips For Shopping
I can identify with the Colgate situation in a way. Last night, hubby and I went to Target to buy energy saving lightbulbs & hubby put a few unplanned items in the cart. I usually let him splurge since he works hard & doesn't mind me doing the bookkeeping but last night was a shocker! Hubby picked up a pack of Reeses peanut butter eggs (figuring they'd be .99 or 1.99 tops) and put it in the cart. I was excited at the prospect of saving on the electric bill so I didn't bother to look at the impulse item scans and blindly paid what the cashier asked for. Since the bulbs are expensive, I paid and left but when I looked at the receipt, the confounded easter chocolate eggs were 3.99!! Now I love chocolate as much as the next chick but four bucks? ARRRRGH!!! By the time I read this, I was already across the bridge and crossing back to Jersey would be another six bucks. Bummer.
