Lowest prices always..FAIL

[chopped]

This season I have had the time to skop at the biggest reatiler here.They say Lowest prices always. Now maybe im picky but in my recient visit I found that the Tomato soup was prices at 31 cents more than the food store(nect door)I then found $2.18 sugar and it was 189 at the food store.Even campbel soup prices were higher.
I realize the policy is that they would match the price but I would have to get documentation from the food store with the prices.
Just seems to me that when you can get a gallon of the same brand milk at the food store for much les, and I alert them to the price difference and they reduce mine, that they would reduce the shelf price so the next person pays the reduced price.
Their policy really is underhanded in my thought..It used to be they wanted you to compare prices and tell them so they could reduce their to compete. But now make you have to ''work'' for the difference.
Oh did I not mention the can good s pears etc are mostly water compared to the food store brands?lol
Either way everyone have a great Christmas and enjoy..:thumbsup:

Might this "lowest prices" store be the one that was once proud that everything they sold was made in America?

Nice rant! :thumbsup:

Oh yes sure is.I can rememebr the ''tingle'' I got when it opened years ago. and was plastered with American Flags Amazing how times chage..And mind you where I live there arent many choices. In fact the closest cahian store is a 50 minute drive. When this store oened, the local K mart closed a year later.

To be fail Ive found a ''loophole' in this policy of adjusting the price .
Even in my local food market, I found milk was priced wrong and they would give the product(gallon of milk) and cash of 2 dollars. I would go tot he service desk and show the flyer they had and they adjusted it. I ASSUMED they would send someone back to change the milk orice to reflect their flyer price. But two days later it ws still high. so I didnt he same thing got the milk free and two bucks .The rest of the week I did this for 5 transactions we drank a lot of milk that week. but its was free and I made 10 bucks to boot.
Point here is they could aford that becasue as I was getting my free milk and two busks there was probably 5 or 6 people in the checkouts who didnt know or just dont check ..
So for the store much more profitible to do it this way and not adjust it down to what they had advertised it for...

I do not shop there, never will. I will plant, harvest and raise anything I need before I will shop there and I will wear buckskin clothes before I shop there.

x2, I haven't shopped there for years, don't ever plan on it again. Their products are crap, prices are high, business practices are deplorable, and I'm generally mad by the time I leave the store.

Oh, and on the price matching, they will price match on the 'exact same item'. Problem is them make the mfg's make things for them in slightly different sizes, styles, etc so no one else has the 'exact same item'. :thumbdown:

More than one type of store does that. You sure have to watch what you buy, all too common to see the item is smaller or less to a package and higher in price to boot.

*Sure it's underhanded and makes suckers out of the consumers by taking advantage of their stupidy.
Why would a consumer in their rite mind want to take their buisness away from the business that is treating them right and give it the buisness giving them the shaft? ? ? ? ?

UNREAL......Got up today to make my tradition holiday Fudge.got it all going then I grab my special Nestles chocolate bits and they seemed light , but use them anyways. the fudge came out 'pale'' I looked att he wrapper and it said it had 10 ounces.
usual package is more than that. Well apparently the Grinch struck the chocolate too. I almost feel as though we are going to have to back to the built buying.. These company's seem to really be st to shortchange us. Id rather have a price increase than to be 'jipped'' like this.

There should be laws and enforcement against misleading and outright false advertising. Today advertising is mostly misleading or false, any thing to make a sale. I'm sorry but I can't do business that way and I lose a lot of sales to competition who has no consience, but I still sleep well at night.
