I offering this one from a friend: At supermarkets where they have self check-out you can purchase, oh say, Honeycrisp apples at a deep discount by typing in the code for a much cheaper variety, like McIntosh.

seems more of the illegal type than a life hack.

Yup, they had the same thing around here too, I think they changed it recently up here cause the last time I was there I think it was different.

I have heard that too, the big name brands will package product in another label for stores, it's usually their 2nds or stuff that dont exactly meet the standards of their big name brand stuff. (Like the frozen vegetables might be smaller then what you would get in the name brand)

For stuff like frozen vegetables it might be their seconds. Friend of mine worked at Dannon, for stuff like yogurt they just swap out the containers, wouldn't make sense to clean out the vats. I would think its that way for most liquids.

If you’re constantly sitting on your balls when you take a dump <yeeouch!>, bring a small stick or board to the bathroom with you to hold your junk up while you sit down.

It's not a true hack until you just get it over with and cut the balls off.

I discovered that if I don’t bother with Bookface, the Kardashians, social media, ‘reaching out’ and how the language and grammar have been undermined by knuckle dragging troglodytes, I am a f*** of a lot happier.

 

PS...it’s ‘could have’...NOT ‘could of’!

In some cases it might be the exact same product, in others it could be the 'bottom of the barrel/vat' or stuff that for some reason doesnt meet their product standard but is still good for consumption, instead of just throwing it out, its packaged as a no name/store brand product and sold for less.

I believe his point is that no camera or person is ever going to notice that your bag of red, yellow, and green apples are the $4.67 per pound variety and not the more or less identical looking apples priced at $1.37 per pound.

 

If you want to be even more clever, get 6 big apples in a bag.  Make sure 5 of them are the expensive kind, and 1 is the cheap kind.  When go to scan the bag of apples, take out the cheap apple and scan the bar code sticker on the apple.  The machine will read whatever cheap kind it is, and then ask you to weigh the bag. You do so and then get a bag of expensive apples for the price of a bag of cheap apples.

 

Any camera or observer would only see that you very correctly put a bag of apples on the scanner, scanned one of the apples in the bag, were charged for apples, and that you put apples in your cart.

 

There's nothing to "catch" or notice".  You'd have to somehow see the code being scanned, and then visually see the apples in the bag, and think "those don't look quite like Fujis, I think those are more Honey crisps, let me investigate this"...

 

That ain't going to happen.

When you shave your neck, swallow and hold it.  It will get your Adam's apple (thyroid cartilage) out of the way.

If you need to resort to practices like that,best to look into some social service assistance.,like a food stamp card .Your entire post shouts out dishonesty,being shady and the feel of being above the law.

How would you feel if I walked into your house and took your living room lamps and wife..also your dog? You wouldn't be able to kick my ass..so what does that leave you with....

Honesty wins..Trust wins..those are good characteristics to have..

Frauds piss me off.

If I'm planning on making a pizza, I get as many toppings at the salad bar as possible.  This way, I only get as much as I need and I spend a fraction of what I'd spend if I bought entire packages/containers of certain items.

I do this sometimes- if you're buying loose mushrooms and not planning on using stems, snap em off back into the display. Saves about 30% of the cost by weight.
