Target being veerry SNEAKY!

[*raqshaki*]

Went to Target today because they are offering 2nd item in ladies linen clothing at half price. Lined up and paid for 2 x $40 shirts and 2 x $20 t - shirts. Was expecting the total discount to be $30 ......checked receipt to find the discount was only $20.... Because they paired the cheapest with the dearest. Went and had a coffee to think this through. Returned the 4 items and then purchased them as 2 seperate transactions - discount now equalled the expected $30.... Wonder how many people have been stung?

you have to be on your toes shopping these days. Look at all the bait n switch going on, and the fancy tricks Walmart comes up with to keep you in their store longer shopping. On black friday they would hand out the item in limited number 3 hours before the sale starts but you had to wait before checking it out and paying for it. They figure you'll be shopping and buying things in that time rather than just waiting in line for the item.

I used to go to thrift stores for clothing and made out pretty good on their 50% off days they had the first tuesday of the month. There were a dozon or so thrift stores where I used to live, but here there is only one, their selection is bad and their prices are high. Almost worth it to drive the hundred miles to get better deals. Assuming I can sneak by the police there, get in and out, and the highway patrol in the road back here don't see me. They love to say i'm not fit to drive and take my car, like they did my bicycle.

I like that Target recommends a substitute product when an item is sold out:

Yep I can see how one would go in for antacids and come out with condoms
