Thursday

Ice cream dropped 25 cents in price, but when opened it's not as full as before. It's maybe 3-4% off the top!

And a discounted item .... post-Easter ham .... 75% off. Tag is 75% off on one side, full price on the other. It rings at the 75% off price, then at the full price, then discounts the full price. So there are two discounted prices, I paid for it twice.
