If an item is reduced, the full price is shown when that item is scanned, and the amount of the reduction is only taken off when the total is tallied after the last item has gone through the till.
It still helps a great deal. The offers are at the top of the receipt and it makes it easier to check them at the end before you leave the store.0 -

Put them on last then. If you know the last 7 items were reduced it's easy to look at your receipt and see if 7 reductions have come off before you leave the till.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0
