I only shop at Schnucks when we need something quick or weird (they are pretty good at carrying unusual items).Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256112748291670773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607007096922060383.post-65888380599331849372012-01-06T16:59:55.356-08:002012-01-06T16:59:55.356-08:00I was at Walmart a few times this week, and on my ...I was at Walmart a few times this week, and on my last trip I was near the toy section and they had clearance stuff out in the middle of the big aisle. There were some Model Magic (my favorite clay-like substance since it isn't messy... at all) kits on clearance. The sign said $7.50, regular price $24.95. Wow, a great clearance. I got two (for future birthday gifts), and carefully watched the price as it rang up since I only got them because they were on sale. They did come up as $7.50, but when I looked at the receipt it said the regular price was $15. It's still a really good sale, but was someone just making up a regular price on the sign?? <br />I'm horrible at knowing what prices are on most things, and I really should pay more attention! I sent Pete to Schnuck's one time to get a bottle of ranch dressing. He thought the price, $4.88, seemed expensive. I thought it was too, but I wasn't sure by how much. The next time I went to Walmart, I was floored when I realized it was $2 cheaper at Walmart. I can't afford to shop at Schnuck's except for the occasional emergency item... or something on sale.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269464228066647267noreply@blogger.com
