Christmas bargain

My daughter loves lilies, so every Christmas Eve I buy her a bunch.  Usually they are just a little more expensive than the week before unless you buy the expensive "Christmas Lilies".  You know the ones I mean, they have a spray painted twig and fir cone - needless to say I avoid them. Well that was until last week, the local Sainsbury's had normal lilies at £8 and Christmas Lilies for £5 a it said so on a big sign on the bucket.

I genuinely didn't look at the price under the barcode on the sticker, I was a bit shocked to say the least when they scanned at £12 although it was the price I had expected them to be before I saw the price on the sticker.

I complained to the manager, even showed him the big sign on the bucket in the flower display.  The manager was very good and honoured the £5 price albeit he did quickly remove the big Christmas Lilies £5 sign.  

Daughter was delighted with the flowers and the are looking lovely 10 days later.  She was impressed with my bargain hunting as well.

Happy bargain hunting
