Well, at least they were marked and you knew at the time you picked
them up. It bugs the crap out of me when things aren't priced. For
some reason the 2 local Krogers seem to have trouble keeping the shelf
tag on the chicken livers. I won't buy stuff that doesn't have a price.
All the local stores have that problem with bread at times. If I can
find the price tag, fine, but if it's not there I won't buy. I may
buy the more expensive item, but only if it's a conscious decsision
and I know I'm doing it.

I would have remembered. I remember numbers. Can't remember peoples'
names to save my life, but numbers I remember. You knew when you picked
them up and once the decision was made you really don't need to remember
the exact price. I watch the prices ring up and if something rings up
wrong I know it, but that's just me.
