How To Find Extra Money In Your Pocket Every Week

Here is a way to literally "find" extra money in your pocket every week.

It's a simple technique. Something most people don't do because they don't want to take the time. In fact, I just started doing this a few months ago -- and when I did I started putting an extra $5.00 or more in my pocket every week.

What is it? Simple: Start checking your store receipts for errors. Especially grocery store receipts.

I used to never look at my grocery store receipts. I just assumed they were always right. After all, they scan the item and the computer rings it up automatically. It should be a fairly accurate system, right?

Wrong! Grocery store prices are very dynamic. The grocery industry has gone to using VIP and loyalty cards and many times an item that is supposed to be on special is not entered into the system correctly. The first time I checked my grocery receipt for errors I found two items that I was over charged for -- for a total of $6.50. After this I started checking all my receipts for errors and found that I was being overcharged an average of $5.00 a week.

Incidentally, I mentioned before that the grocery store industry has gone to the VIP and loyalty card system. I just heard an expert on a radio talk show say that you can save approximately 2% on your groceries by patronizing grocery stores that do not use VIP or loyalty cards.
