Scanning Code of Practice


The scanning code of practice states that if an item is scanned in at a higher price than the sticker price on the shelf, you get ten dollars off the sticker price, on the first item.

This has helped me twice in the last couple of weeks!

As we are moving into a house with a gas range, we have needed to replace our current frying pans with ones meant for a gas range. And let me tell you, pans designed for a gas range? Not cheap. So we have been buying them one at a time, here and there, whenever we find a good price. 

Two weeks ago, I saw a small pan on clearance for 12.97. I thought that was a wicked good price .. Almost too good to be true .. So I scanned it at the price check thing and what do you know, it was scanned in at 29.97. I smiled and grabbed two pans and headed to the checkout. I exercised the scanning code of practice and got the first pan for 2.97 and the second for the stickered12.97 price! Score!

Same thing happened again today with the above-pictured frying pans. I only got one this time .. But what a great deal, getting a medium-sized frying pan for a gas range for 9.97!!

I'm grateful for this practice because it can really benefit the consumer - and it has helped us get our pans for our new home, at an outstanding price :)
