Subject: Re: products behind wrong price stickers at stores - on purpose?
I do most of my grocery shopping once a month. Then throughout the month, I
might need just one or two items...

So many times I go to the grocery store and buy a couple of things. And when
I do this, I notice and remember the price.

Many times the price on the shelf is lower than the register price! ALWAYS
higher, NEVER lower! I make them check the price and give me the lower
price.

Might try taking a notebook and writing down all the prices, then place the
items on the checkout in order of your list, see how many prices are
higher...
