For two days in a row, I bought beer at a price that was supposed to
have been active, "Through 2-9-21." They adjust the price, but don't
bother to remove the sign. I imagine it's still there.

Back when grocery stores quit ticketing items, and went to shelf
pricing, most had a policy that if the item rang up at a higher price
than the shelf price, the first item would be free, and all additional
items would be sold at the posted shelf price.

Back in 1992, we lived in Hudson, FL, right behind a Jewel store that
had an incorrectly high price on this item:

Every day I walked there and got a free jar of that truly excellent jam.
Every day, it was free, but they didn't bother to change the price. I
must have gotten 6-7-8 (my wife remembers nearly a dozen) of them before
they changed the shelf tag.

Anyone else have a similar story? The product is delicious, but I don't
think that anyone will be getting it free.

I once found 20 cents laying on the pavement. It was one of the best
days of my life.

Did you invest it for the future or just **** it away on a good time?
Invested, it could bring a few bucks for retirement instead of a couple
of cookies the day you found it.

I'm afraid I turned it all into booze.

Not really. I don't much look at prices.

When my grocery store went to scanners (seems like a million years
ago), if it scanned higher than the price tag showed, you got it for free.
I can't recall what happened if you have multiple items.

I never abused the policy by going back again and again for the free
item.
