Down Fitty Cents

Tweet

Dagnabbit seems to be a word I have been forced to use more often lately due to snow and other matters fully warranting a dagnabbit. Today was no exception as I scanned my Ruler Foods receipt and realized I was overcharged for my 5 pound bag of Idaho Russet potatoes. The sign said (go ahead and spin Tesla's Signs, although to be fair there were no long haired, freaky people involved) 2 for $5, which if my math is correct would be $2.50 per five pound bag. I should note there was not a stipulation that you must buy 2 to get the discounted price, and Ruler generally makes no such stipulations on any of their multi-buy discounts. They charged me $2.99, and while that's technically an overcharge of 49 cents, why not just round it up since I was of course taxed at the higher amount. Oh well. I guess I will just have to be creative and find a way to recoup my 50 cents somewhere. I am sure I will be able to pull it off. I tend to be quite resourceful. Perhaps on my next trip to Ruler or Aldi I will simply have to spend a couple extra minutes stalking in the parking lot for a couple of abandoned shopping carts. I'm gonna get mines, come hell or high water.
