The Juggle Zone: Bargain Blog

Stopped by Target this morning to pick up some cough drops, and figured I'd do a return while I was at it. Handed the clerk my receipt and the item, she scanned both, hit about 2 keys, then a new receipt showing the return printed out. Now that's how returns should work!

Then I picked up the cough drops and headed for checkout. Ahead of me was a woman with a package of 101 lollipops for $1.50 (18 ounces), and another of 285 for $4.50 (51 ounces). She was trying to figure out which was a better deal, and was speaking aloud. After the clerk and I watched her and waited, I finally chimed in to tell her the smaller bag was the better deal. She didn't get it, so I explained it, and she finally understood. She then proceeded to preach to us about how most other people didn't have me standing next to them to help them save. She then remembered that she had seen another woman buying the large bag, and debated going to tell her about the better deal, then decided the other woman probably wouldn't want to go back to switch bags. Well, that ruined what could have been my most efficient trip to Target ever.
