Sometimes it's hard to save money when the stores you are shopping in aren't really helping your cause. I am talking about the fast food mentality of today's mega shops. Everywhere you go now is run by barcode scanners and suffice to say, they are machines. We all know that machines are only as smart as the person that is running or programming them. It's no suprise that many of us probably get overcharged on a number of occasions and don't even know it.
There are lots of reasons why we would get charged the wrong price. The machine is not functioning properly, it has been programmed with the proper sales price information or through human error such as a clerk double scanning an item. Either way it's important to check out receipts before we leave the store. I always watch the clerk scan the items and check the price as they do. If I feel something went wrong then I ask them if it was the right price. Get in the habit of checking your receipts before you leave the store and I bet you will be suprised.
