I always try to watch the scanner carefully, although at times I find it difficult if I have the kids and hubby with me. I have caught a lot of things that didn’t ring up right by watching the scanner and probably saved us A LOT of money!!! I’ve had problems with sale prices not ringing up right too.

Thanks for the reminder. I will be sure to keep this in mind as I go grocery shopping this week. Liz’s last blog post..A month as whirlwind

I am a stickler for checking the scanner. I can sense people behind me rolling their eyes, but I do not care. Every little error adds up, and groceries are the one expense I feel I can control if I'm really careful. Country-Fried Mama’s last blog post..Maybe we’ll homeschool the kids after all

I used to go to a grocery store (the only one in the area where we used to live) that always forgot to put the sale prices in the computer. So, every week I had to check the receipt and then go to customer service for my refund. I complained, but nothing was ever changed. Luckily, we moved!

I always try to watch the scanner, although I have to admit it is a little harder now that I have two kids with me at times. Trying to watch them and make sure their not getting into something and watching the scanner can be challenging. I do, however, always glance over my receipt before I walk out the door just to make sure. Amanda’s last blog post..The Hurrier I Go, the Behinder I Get

And another grocery store lesson I can't seem to learn; Always check the cart to make sure you got everything into your car before leaving! Andrea’s last blog post..What's the deal with mac 'n cheese?

@Kay – Wow! Thanks for the reminder about manually entering amounts into the credit machine. That must have been so maddening …

I recently got charged $63+ for a small roast that should have been about $8 on sale. Don't assume accuracy!!! Just wanted to add - if you're at a smaller store where they take the total from the register and manually enter it into the credit/debit card machine, ALWAYS make sure that number is accurate. I went to a thrift store and spent $18. When I glanced at my receipt, it showed $180.00. Then, to top it off, she processed it as a "refund" rather than a void. It took NINE days to get that money put back in my account, and wound up causing 2 bounced checks. Kay’s last blog post..I want to be adopted…
