This is a question Little Victories

I 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 victory
I 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.

berries are ridiculously overpriced
when i picked blackberries and raspberries we would recieve $1 for each punnet picked. then they are sold for $6-7

US law
Does 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.

And (quick check)
They're worth exactly the same right now (well, ignoring the US$0.0002 it is).
