Missing Price Tags

Jul 1, 2010 by Paula

For the first time since we moved to hubby’s hometown we went to shop at the supermarket at SM Bicutan.  I really miss our old supermarket because of the cheaper prices but I guess we have no choice.  One of the things I noticed when we shopped there was most of the items have no price tags.  Instead they put barcode scanners all over the place. The frugal shopper in me screamed that this is another tactic by them to leave the shoppers clueless over how much their purchases cost. I had fun using the scanners but I was left wondering why they just couldn’t put the price below the items. Anyway, if that was really their intent it didn’t work for me. I only bought familiar items and those I was not familiar with I went all the way to have it scanned. I can take the extra exercise but as soon as I find another supermarket I will have no sadness leaving that one.
