Price adjust, price adjust, price adjust!!!

Have you ever bought something and then days later seen it on sale for way less? Frustrating, right? It might not bother some people, but to the budget-conscious shopper, being able to save some more dollars here and there really matter. At that moment, buyer's remorse might sink in and the buyer might regret buying it at that price, especially when the item is now on sale for way less. What do you do? You can't return the item because you already used it or you already took the tags off and washed it!

So there is something called a price adjustment. I didn't know about it until a few years ago. It's a retail secret. They don't want you to know about this, but it's a good way to save money without even realizing it!

Check your receipts. Do they discuss a price adjustment period? Most retail places indicate a 2 week range, but some places have a 30, 60 or 90 day policy.

TIP: Carry your receipts in a coupon organizer. If you happen to be at the same store within that period of time, check back on the prices of the items you previously purchased. If an item has gone down in price due to a sale, then you are eligible for a price adjustment! All you have to do is take your receipt to the customer service desk and tell them that you recently bought an item for "x" dollars and now it is on sale for less, so you would like to request a price adjustment for the new sale price. Target has a great policy and if you show them the receipt, they will credit your card on the spot! Old Navy has a great price adjustment policy too, and with today's economy, prices are always dropping! So keep your eyes open for those falling prices and you might get a few price adjustments this week, saving money you didn't even plan on saving!

Don't have a coupon organizer? I can show you how to make one...but let's save that for another day of blogging. Stay tuned...
