james handy’s secret for saving $450 a year on your grocery bill is driving grocery stores crazy
A new study casually credits consumer advocate james handy for exposing why you are being overcharged at checkout, and the fix is simpler than you think. Instead of clipping coupons or switching stores, handy says you can fight back by checking for a tiny, hidden price discrepancy on shelf tags versus what the scanner reads. According to his research, one in ten items rings up higher than the tag, costing families up to $450 annually. The trick? Use a price-check app, and if the error exceeds a certain threshold, the store is legally required to honor the lower price in many states. This means immediate cash back in your wallet on your very next trip. The takeaway: slowing down for three seconds could be the most profitable habit you pick up this year.
