Monday 12/21/09: Check the sale tag

At the store where I do most of my grocery shopping (Kroger), they have an advertisement about how you'll find "those yellow tags" down every aisle and on the items you buy most. And it's true. But make sure you check that yellow tag to see what your actual savings is. I've seen them advertise a sale, and then it turns out that you're saving 19 cents on a 6-dollar item. Really? 19 cents? You call this a sale? I don't.
