10-305 (2/11/23) -- Fish Fiasco

Today was COLD! We had a hard freeze and there was snow west of here. Our turn will come. <sigh> 

I went for a few groceries today. Salmon was on sale, so I looked over the packages and chose two. Upon closer inspection, price per kilogram was too high. They were costed as boneless skinless and it was quite clear that the skin was still on, but they had been boned. Now you might thik that this was a small thing, but it changed the pricing by $10/kg -- so what should have been $25 became about $35 per kilo.  I brought this to the attention of a worker in the department. He retagged them at the correct price, but the weights were then wrong as he had measured the wrapped packages instead of the fillet alone. I asked that he redo it again, which saved me a couple of dollars more. Attention to details is necessary when shopping these days when inflationary pricing is everywhere. 

A song came to mind when pondering searching for fish at the store. It's like a new form of fishing. <smile> Keep safe. Enjoy!
