Coupons man. Coupons, they gotta go. My daughter is a coupon collector but to me it's a huge waste of time & paper. Clubs too. Although I have to admit, I'm a Costco member. But every freakin store these days including grocers ask me if I'm a 'club' member & circle how much money (printed on the receipt) I would have saved by being in the 'club'. Just gimme the best price & don't bug me about clubs man, I'll choose what club I wish to belong to & don't need to be reminded every time I buy a pound of butter. I'd rather haggle than be a club member at some of these places. It's all a great marketing strategy since once you're in the club, they have your personal info & can profile you to 'better serve you'.
But I digress & rant. I'm not a fan of having to ask for a price in a store that doesn't mark stuff, but hey, it's their business & I'm sure it will survive or fail based on how they run it. If I have to wait too long to find someone to ask, I'll move on. Same goes if the price is out of whack. But not going to get my shorts in a knot over it. But coupons & clubs, lookout.... they ruffle my feathers...
