Tuesday evening I purchased groceries at a local Jewel food store.
Hormel Cure 81 hams were allegedly on sale for $3.99 a pound. The sticker price said $5.99 a pound.
I asked cashier “Kim”, the checkout clerk, and was told discounts were automatic, that I no longer needed to enter my phone number or present a card to get a the discount.
Kim notified me “the sale price was $3.99” and it was reflected on the receipt.
Well, it was, sort of.

Please note the net weight of the ham at 3.61 pounds.
Next note the itemized Jewel receipt.
Supposedly I “saved” $10.84. That’s quite the savings.
