Always watch the cash register as your purchases are rung up for scanner errors. Then, if an error occurs, know what the stores policy is, many stores will give you the item free or a credit of several dollars off your total. I routinely get credits and/or free merchandise at Albertson's, RiteAid, WalMart and KMart. You have to ask for the compensation, even insist on it and ask for a manager if necessary to get it.
I also check the docket before I leave the store. That way you can get an instant refund if you need to. You'd be surprised at the number of mistakes you can find!!
Be sure to watch the register as the checkout person checks your items. Many times I have caught mistakes that the register made that the salesperson would never have noticed. It pays to pay attention!
