Price Check

The prices in our local grocery store usually reasonable, like this:

price of strawberries at the grocery store

Three dollars and 99 cents per package. Not too bad.

But sometimes they try to trick you into paying way too much, like this:

price of blueberries at the grocery store, missing a decimal point

Four hundred and ninety nine dollars? Nice try.

I am happy to report though, that the sign printer and the pricing system were not in sync.

You shall have a correct and honest weight; you shall have a correct and honest measure, so that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

Luke 5:9
