Check your Woolworths receipt

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so please move if not.
I went into my local Woolworths yesterday to spend a voucher I had for £5. I only really needed a couple of selection packs (2x99p), so I made up the difference with some chocolate for me :T at 1.59 and a new toilet brush :rolleyes: at 1.50 (needs must!!!).
All the items were scanned and when the girl told me the total at the till it was 8.57. Now my maths is not that hot but I knew it was wrong and got her to check. I turned out that the toilet brush had not scanned properly and had come up as a chrome toilet handle as this was only one digit different on the bar code. She took off the offending item and rescaned the toilet brush which came up correctly, so all was fine in the end.
However if I had done a large shop (or wasn't plannng it so it was just above the voucher total
) I might have missed the mistake until I got out of the shop - so might be worth checking your receipt (which I know as all good moneysavers we should 
)
