Check your reciept- get the real deal

Shopping sales, using coupons and stumbling across super-discounted bargains are all great ways to save loads of cash — that is, unless you don’t really get the savings you anticipated. How is that possible? Simple — at the checkout counter you are charged retail price, or more, on your discounted items and never even know it. Is this some sinister ploy? No, but we’ve seen a level of incompetence in many retail establishments despite constant scrutiny by state departments of weights and measures and numerous investigative reports about “scanner accuracy.” We are told that if there are errors, they usually favor the consumer. Unfortunately, that’s not been our experience.
