Don't you hate it when bar codes don't work at the supermarket?
Some of you may have seen the Unilever rebate in Sunday's paper (up to $20 back) so I decided to take the bait and buy the items, most of which I would have invested in anyway.
The first required item was a laundry detergent, Wisk. When the cashier at ShopRite rang it up, it registered as a different brand, All, which was on sale this week. Although I got a nice discount for it ($3.99 versus $5.99), the company offering the refund probably would not honor that amount of the refund for that product if it were not actually on the receipt (required).
So, with $7.50 on the table ($1.50 plus $6.00 for buying all 10 required products), I turned face and bought another Wisk at a different store.
Oh, well -- at least it won't go to waste.
