I had the same thing here with butter and I asked the guy working back there if the price was right and he said it was. I got them to take the price down at the cash register. If they're telling you they can't fix it at the register that's a lie, unless you've already paid.

I've also had pretty much 100% of the time at Target had coupons and sale prices not showing up at the register. I think it's deliberate fraud. Anyway watch there too. I don't shop there often so they're going on my don't shop there list.

Weve got the 'scanning code of practice' where I live (Newfoundland). If an item scans in different from the listed price you get it for free ($10 or less, if its over you get $10 off).

Safeway was selling ONE onion for $1.99. I found great onions for $0.69 a pound at the local Latin grocer.

I talked to a guy who lived in Argentina during hyper-inflation.

He said there was no such thing as vending machines, because prices were changing so fast during the day.

If you hired someone to fix your TV or appliances, they would finish the job, then compute how much you owed them based on current rates (after the job vs. before) at that time of the day.

When they paid employees, they paid out in cash and then everyone went immediately to the markets to spend it. If they waited until the next morning, the money was worth 10% to 20% less as food prices increased.

This particular guy was an expert at squeezing pennies until dollars came out of them. He made out pretty well in a hyper-inflation market.

Same thing happened to me at target today. I asked about it and it ended up saving me $10

I needed plain old-fashioned campbells tomato soup. Went to my Foodland in W PA. 1 can was $2.19 compared to my local walmart at 98 cents.

Noticed empty shelves at kids' juices like pouches and drink boxes. Adult juices like V8 right next shelf full.

Packaged lunch meat pretty bare. Found only honey ham and cotto salami. The roast beef looked old. No jumbo, pastrami, other hams, etc.

Some brands of frozen dinners completely out. The cheap ones like pot pies and Marie Callenders were close to $3 each.

Hey I'm not sure about the laws there, but if they're not updating the price on the shelf, they can't charge you a higher cost can they?

We have been experiencing the same thing

Cod the stores be factoring inflation in a.d prices change through out the day.

It’s been happening with a few things here. They give me that line and I’m like, yeah well…that’s what the sign says…

Did you demand the price fix and your money back?

Don't wait for customer service. Complain right there at the register. Often the cashier can mark down the price to whatever you say, and if not, a manager can. Sometimes they walk back to the shelf to check the sign, and you should absolutely walk back with them.

That makes sense. It must be crazy to keep up with all the changing prices. What was once a rare event (changing an item shelf price) now may be 1000s of changes.

I hate Walmart because the store is so disorganized. Items on the shelf don't match the shelf tags so you have no idea how much an item costs. I frequent Fred Meyer (Kroger) and noticed they are starting to be just as bad.
