Little VictoriesI recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

A very small victoryI noticed that my local supermarket had 125 gram punnets of blueberrys (usually very expensive here)marked at $4.50 a Kg, so I grabbed 4 or 5 and headed to the checkout. It turned out that they were supposed to be $4.50 each, but because of their own policy, they had to sell me what I had at the marked price, I ended up with over half a kilo of blueberries (yum) for a couple of dollars. They changed their sign very quickly.

US lawDoes the law really work like that in the US, that you have to abide by the displayed price? (I assume that's where you are with your $).
In the UK, people often don't realise it, but it's not the case. The display is an "invitation to treat", and it means "you are welcome to offer me £4 for a kg of these berries, but I still have the right to refuse."

I don't think it's US law.I think it was just that shop's policy.
