Default The Secret Way Your Grocery Store Is Overcharging You!

The Secret Way Your Grocery Store Is Overcharging You!

After having read so many different people who are sharing their praise and stories about the program being offered at supermarketloophole.com I decided to share my very own experience with this program. Back in 1999 I was bringing my oldest son Andy to Gymboree. One day when we arrived there was a large group of moms gathered around a shoebox on top of a table. I still remember hearing the moms shout WOW. I went right over to see what was going on. One of the moms had a shoebox full of grocery store and department store receipts. The receipts were all showing huge savings. I still remember there was another mom there with her laptop. We all took turns signing up for the sampler that very morning. Through the years this program has been far more than I could have ever hoped for. The savings on just about everything continue to be incredible!

so is this an ad for supermarketloophole? If it's not, I can't quite figure out the point of this post.

Poor attempt at SPAM. Not only did I read the paragraph but I was extremely confused at the end. In no way does this make me want to visit the site they mention.

Attempt at Spam = FAIL

Does anyone else hear the Monty Python's "Spam, spam, spam, spam" song go through their head every time they see the word "spam"?

I feel like grocery stores are always trying to take your money. Most of the time the just increase the prices so they can have sales and make one feel like they are saving.

Just to actually address the topic - my grandfather told me that one of the large grocery stores in his neighborhood used to keep a broom propped at the end of the check stand and add its price to all the large orders that came through; if anyone caught them, they apologized and refunded the money.

Check your receipts!

It is obvious it is an add for that website. I found your post to be very confusing and there is no explaination of what services you offer. I then proceeded to the web site.

The site was poorly designed, and an eye sore. No CLEAR descriptions, or explainations of services. What I saw was "ONLY $36.99! Hurry, you can start saving thousands of dollars today." And a giant "AS SEE ON TV" logo.

I get the point they are SELLING a coupon book. Do they mail coupons, or do you have to print them? As I said, it is terribly confusing.

And how do I know this isnt one big scam. Why should I just give you my debt card number? I dont know you, I've never heard of you. The supposed story of taking your son to some place back in 1999 doesnt exactly do it for me.

To the extent of it being a scam, I AM REALLY PUT OFF that
supermarketloophole.com and savingmorethanbefore.com are the same website. Really this screams scam to me.

I've now given you about 15 minutes of my evening in total. Congradulations, but NO Sale.

Check your receipts!
This is not always the case. Several years ago I purchased a game at Electronics Boutique. When I was rung up, the clerk said "Here buy some Spiderman cards!" He scanned them and put them in my bag. I didnt quite understand and was like "Huh?" He said check your receipt. The cards were priced at -$5.

A couple weeks ago I went into the dollar store next door to me and purchased some chips and dip. As the cashier rang me up, she took my chips, handed them to the person in line behind me and asked him to put them back on the sheft, then asked him to hand her the bag next to them. They had a 20% off coupon on them. Identical product, just one had it and one didnt.

You dont have to watch so much because of the cashier, but you do need to watch because of the price they ring up. MORE OFTEN than you would expect, they will have the wrong price in the system!
