All you need is a blender, an egg yolk, some veggie oil, and a little vinegar or lemon juice.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444155399534001538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26172328.post-35947971800840715702008-10-31T16:28:00.000-07:002008-10-31T16:28:00.000-07:00That has happened to me many times.. where the pac...That has happened to me many times.. where the packaging looks soo similar. <BR/><BR/>And you are right about the cost of food.. its really unbelievable at times.. but I have found it YO YO's ..

When I got home (which was a 40 min drive) and got to looking at my reciept because I thought my total was high they charged me $3.99 a lb!!! Needless to say I was not happy, even more unhappier after I called the store and asked to speak to the manager (yes, I was that mad). After explaining the situation he said,"oh you must have bought the green grapes". Those are $3.99 the black grapes were $1. There is a sign below stating that.<BR/> <BR/>They should not mix items with different prices and have a large sign exclaiming the price of $1 and not being specific about what is a dollar and what isn't!<BR/><BR/>Yes, they can be sneeky. This just teaches me to be more watchful!<BR/><BR/>To make this story even worse they rang up 6 extra cans of soup on my receipt! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me vent. ha.<BR/><BR/>I totally enjoyed your post. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26172328.post-77754822256705633002008-10-31T14:47:00.000-07:002008-10-31T14:47:00.000-07:00Wow... maybe it's a good thing I don't really care...Wow... maybe it's a good thing I don't really care for mayo!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26172328.post-41888507380272340182008-10-31T10:35:00.000-07:002008-10-31T10:35:00.000-07:00Debbie J and Corrie, it was a lesson well learned-...Debbie J and Corrie, it was a lesson well learned--I'll be much more vigilant!<BR/>I have no problem with stores enticing us to come in and buy things. That's what they exist to do--make money. I just don't like having to take an extra step out of my already busy life to have to double-check things!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26172328.post-15886849798288229832008-10-31T10:28:00.000-07:002008-10-31T10:28:00.000-07:00The stores are out to keep us from getting any bar...The stores are out to keep us from getting any bargains and I say take advantage of any offer they make. They use them to get us in the store and hope we'll spend, spend, spend. We have to outsmart them!Debbie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610913789958390802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26172328.post-41774760596676198162008-10-31T09:46:00.000-07:002008-10-31T09:46:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about the packages looking th...I know what you mean about the packages looking the same. I was looking at baby aspirin, and CVS even had packaging that looked the same for all the brands of aspirin...so multiple packages of CVS brand to fool us into picking them up :-). Of course, in this case, I wanted the CVS brand...but then I had to make the decision of which one :-).Corrie at "Cents"able Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156997868428556144noreply@blogger.com
