    Talking Saved $20 with a price check tonight!

    ~I stopped at Target to get a fan to replace the one that died yesterday and picked out a fan I thought was $25. It rang up $45! Eeeeps! I requested a price check and they confirmed it was labeled incorrectly at $24.99. But I got it for that price! Yey! It's a oscillating tower with remote , timer and breeze settings. Similar fans were indeed marked at $45.
    Price checking is a bit embarrassing but I love it when it pays off!~

    Way to go! It always pays off to price check. Even if you are in the wrong. You just simply go exchange it! Nice job!!

    Good for you. These days, we need to know what we are paying and check on it all - it all adds up and, more importantly, it's our money!!

    ~Well I find the process embarrassing. It's not the fact that I want a price check, I'm proud of my frugality. It's more that I make others wait and then I have to wait over to the side of the register while everybody stares at me and my items. I just hate drawing attention to myself. ~
