Prices at the grocery

Then there's 'expiry dates'. Like mentioned above, even if you buy a product at discount near expiry, it doesn't mean it's going to expire at midnight of that day, which means more value for your buck if you save.

If you buy a block of cheese for half off the day before it expires, and use it the day after expiry, unless it has mold on it, it's most likely going to be fine, though, of course, it won't be the freshest. So, you still get the same product, but you save some money. Of course, the same doesn't go for other products such as meat and fish, which can go bad quickly and easily.

Another thing I just thought was if you are the type that loves buying things from the bakery wait until the evening hours, like 7 or 8, because they will start reducing prices on certain items. I don't know if a whole lot of other stores do this, but Meijer makes hot chickens dinners. The same rule of thumb applies here.

I work as a cashier too, at a Loblaws.  You would not believe the complaints I get from customers.

I remember a customer at one point, when our Canadian dollar was higher than your US dollar, had a Hallmark card, and asked to pay the US price!  Also, 2 weeks ago, I had another lady buy a piece of sausage, however, by fault of someone messing up with the price scan, it scanned at $300.00!  I imposed the right price of $6.99 and called for authorisation.
