Getting my money back!

I've wrote about the sale in January has started and I already bought some stuff on order. I had bought those rain covers for the buggy. Last week they were on sale 30% off and this week it was 50%. Which means I could bring them back and get some money back.

Those rain covers cost €4,99 each and I bought them in the sale for 30% off which is €3,50 but today they were in sale for 50% off which makes them €2,50 each. I have bought two of them and that cost me €7.- last week and today I returned it and bought it again for €5,-.

It's really funny getting money back at the cash register just by returning and buying the same item again. But on the other hand, my parent bought a pan for 50% off the original price €6,99 which is €3,50 and with the money I just received I had to cough up €1,50 to buy it.

I know some people that are afraid to do this. Basically the person who ordered to buy it saw the advertisement that the sale went higher and that she could get some money back. But she didn't dare to buy new and return it with the older receipt to get the higher price back.

Of course if you want to get money back because it's on sale, remember always get the receipt no matter how small the amount is. A lot of shops won't refund when you don't have the receipt. Check return policies, untill when can you return the product or do they return the difference in the sale price and the regular price in a certain period.

There is a saying that you can only spend money once and you have to look where it goes to. Do you want to spent more or less, it's all up to you.
