Well it would behoove the average shopper to check the "sale" price listed on the shelf. Make a note of it one week..most likely you will notice that the next week the item will be around the same amount at a non-sale price. I see them mark items up all the time and claim the sale price is lower when it is actually just the usual price. Money hungry pigs.
I like the receipt I got once..on the bottom it said "WOW! You just saved $ .02 on this trip!" Be still, my beating heart!

When they run weekly specials they have already calculated what your 'savings' are versus their regular prices. As the items are scanned, the computer simply adds up the 'savings'.
Remember, this is not versus what you would pay anywhere else, simply what you 'saved' against their regular prices. They also include items that you get the special price on ONLY if you use a loyalty card.

You saved the money by paying what you paid, and not what the store wanted to stick you for in the first place.

It's the way they program the cash register and your personal card number. It's like cramming a tiny math whiz in the register.

it's just sales talk. my advise is, before you do your grocery, list the things you need to buy. and stick with it when you go shop. dont be tempted with those ads that says something like if you buy the whole pack, you get this free blah blah..

It's just a marketing gimmick to get you in thinking they really care about your financial situation.
