Do You Read One-by-One The Price of your Items In your Sales Tape/Receipt?

Tweet

I think this is not of so much a burden when you only have few purchases in the list but if you bought several items just like the groceries, you may not have time to read it all. Last December 30, just like other people who were busy shopping for their preparation in welcoming the New Year, we bought our ingredients also a day ahead. Grocery stores were packed with customers as if they were panic buying. Actually this is not my concern but with one of my ingredients that I just found lately. I bought mayonnaise for my Tuna & Penne pasta salad. I only needed 1liter of the said ingredient but there’s no quantity like that so I just picked 2 tetra packs of 470ml and 1 of 220ml which was the smallest I found that time. When I’m at home, I glanced at the difference of their price and the sales tape reads 92 and 88 respectively. I was surprised to see the difference at a very small amount. Since I was tired that evening, I never bother myself to read the whole sales tape and the prices of each item, not anymore. I somehow regretted a little the small difference of the amount and I could have bought all the same quantity. Anyway, I have already forgotten that thing but I could not help to remember when I bought Mayo lately for my salad. Same ingredients, same quantity but I bought the items this time at another grocery store. The good thing when you pick your item at their designated shelves is, it has corresponding amount labeled at the bottom of the shelf. The said quantity of Mayo valued at 89 and 44 each respectively. See! The difference of the price is half knowing the fact that the content of small pack is just nearly half of the 470ml pack. I have doubts that the cashier mistakenly (or intentionally) entered it in double that’s why it became 88. I looked for my receipt to support my suspicion but to no avail.
