Description

If the price dropped the week after you paid: www.certifiedcheapskatebook.com The book has Where to Check, store-by-store pages showing where each current policy lives, and a whole section on the register, with a NEXT TRIP box at the end of every chapter. 455 pages, 86 chapters, every store fact sourced. $39 early-bird, 7-day refund. I'm Thad, the certified cheapskate. My wife gave me the title in our first year of marriage. I've been earning it ever since. Everyone thinks asking for money back makes you the person holding up the line. It doesn't. The stores already wrote these rules down, and a cheapskate is somebody who decides before the store does that the receipt isn't the end of the conversation. I go through six rules that keep working after you've paid, from Costco's thirty days to the scanner laws in three states, with the counter to walk to and the day each window closes. The sixth works at nearly every store in America, and it's how I got my name. And to give the store its due: Publix gives you the item free when it scans higher than the shelf, as their own policy, law or no law. When you've tried it, leave one word in the comments: saved. And tell me which store near you has the best policy you've found.
