When I had my No Spending Month back in June, I started looking very carefully at my receipts. (Every penny counts!)
I had a stack of coupons at Jewel, but only a few scanned. I did not notice this until I had the groceries and my daughter in the car, so it would have been easy to just let it slide. I probably would have if we weren’t on such a tight budget. Instead, I took my daughter and the groceries back out and went to the customer service desk. For my effort, I received back the $2.75 I should have been credited for the coupons.
At a little local store, I got ½ pound of cheese from the deli. I noticed that they charged me $1.00 more per pound than was advertised. That was another .50 saved.
I bought apples at the store that were supposed to be $2.50 per bag, but I was charged $3.49. I didn’t catch this mistake. It cost me .99.
I went to Jewel and bought 3 packages of tortillas which were priced at 3/2.00. They scanned at 1.99 EACH! I went to the customer service desk and got back $4.02.You have probably heard that you should check your receipts, and before my No Spending Month I did do it casually. Now I see over time the savings can really add up.

Check store policies also. Three of the grocery stores in my area give you the item free if it rings up incorrectly. I've gotten a few free items that way over the years.
Great post!!!! I always check my receipts because so many times I have been overcharged or coupons have been missed. I try and do it before I leave the store, this way if there is a problem I can go directly to the customer service counter.
