Did you ever make a mistake when buying something?

When I was a child I thought that Froot Loops had real fruit in it, and was healthy. I found out that it is called Froot Loops, not Fruit Loops.

Be a Froot Loop in a world full of Cheerios

Ya I recently went to Safeway and tried to buy sliced Cheddar and Swiss cheese. I almost bought their store brand for about $2.79 a pack, but then saw they had Tillamook brand on sale for $2.39, limit 4, so I got 2 of each.

I was distracted during checkout, so I didn’t observe that they were ripping me off. My mistake was not understanding that that price was only for people who sign up for their web site, download their app, and scan the coupon using a mobile device.

So they charged me nearly $20 for those four packs of cheese!

I phoned up Safeway and complained. They refused to do anything.

So I went in today and got my $(&% money back, and will be avoiding Safeway for quite a while.

I went to Winco and got sliced cheese for about half the Safeway sale (bait) price.
