We just returned from our first trip to the Super Maxi grocery store. Overall a good trip, but we've discovered some odd price structures here. Nothing seems to be priced as marked. For example, Spencer bought a cheap bottle of rum (the Jack Daniels is way out of our price range here, see photo below) and it was marked $11.00 on the shelf, $17.00 on the sticker on the bottle and rang up as $7.00. hmmm
That one was a win. I bought a bottle of wine. Marked $9.00 on the shelf, $15 on the sticker and rang up as $21.00!! That one was a loss.
We will have to pay much closer attention to these things in the future.
Also, came across some strange fruit, can't wait to figure out what these things are (note the disinfectant in the photo. Everything must be soaked in this for five minutes, strange things):
Also, we found a great little dinning room table set today for a reasonable $177 in a different store. We were thrilled and ready to buy it when the girl helping us went to check on its availability. Unfortunately, she came back with the news that the price had not been updated and it was actually $450. No thanks. Lesson learned on getting your hopes up before confirming the price!!
Spencer is not pleased with his first pour, this little sip of Jack Daniels was $7.50.
Needless to say, he's planning to find a new drink.
