Here we have a screen shot of my shopping today at the Giant Foods website. Their weekly sale sheet shows chicken thighs or drumsticks at .99 cents a pound. Cool.... BUT.... look again. I put one pack of thighs into my cart. It shows up at regular price (top right corner), not sale price. Giant does this a lot. Some 'sale' items every single week will do this. It means one must check the actual price on every single item one chooses.
In this case there was a hidden coupon that was not available anyplace except if one RE-clicked on the item AFTER it was in the cart, and then the coupon showed up. Still had to click on the coupon to get the price.
I.T. moronicity or devious thievery? In any case, I do most of our food shopping with Walmart now. They never seem to play games like this.
