Read the Ads Carefully

I did my usual Saturday shopping at Shop Rite today armed with my coupons, my list and my mothers list.  One of the items on the list was a beef tenderloin.  On my list was to get two.  I know from past times getting these that it is normally limit one to get the Shop Rite card discount. 

I thought I scanned and read the paper really good.  I did not see the limit one anywhere, so I picked up the two and had the butcher cut it into steaks for me.  Finished getting what I needed, checked out and was quite surprised at the total.  Being the highest that I ever have spent I had to quickly remind myself that I got two tenderloins.  I always make it a habit to look at my receipt after I check out whether on the way to the car or in the car.  I was quite impressed with how much I saved.  Upon closer inspection I discovered that only one tenderloin got the Price Card discount.  This had me puzzled and ready to go back into the store.  Before I did I looked at the paper one more time.  Sure enough in very small print it says limit one.  Well, too late now I already purchased it.  If I had seen the fine print before I would have split the transaction into two separate orders.  

Make sure you read the paper and signs carefully, misreading them could cost you more than you originally expected.
