Did you spend too much for that item on your shopping list?

While shopping I remembered I needed a new mop. I think the last time I purchased a mob gas was under $2 a gallon. I digress.

I didn't need something fancy so I went for the $9 mop.
After getting all my grocery items rung up and in my cart. I decided to do a quick scan of my receipt. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the $9 mop rang up as $14!

NowI'm getting into the habit of taking a quick scan of my grocery receipt right after I get it.

This has a few benefits.

1) It reminds me how much darn money I spend on groceries, which reinforces being more mindful of sales and savings.

2) I find those little gotchas that cost me money, mis marked items, sale items that don't ring up as a sale items, and high ticket items that I didn't realize were so expensive.

3) It also reminds me how much things should cost. So the next time I go to the grocery store I will be more likely to notice those items that are priced higher than usual.

Hope this tip saves someone out there a little hard earned bread.
