Went to Shop Rite, armed with my trusty ;o) .75 manuf q's, to get the Degree Deod. that was on sale for $1.69, for .19 cents (after q doubling).

I wound up selecting the exact one that is in the circular; blue in color (there were 4 different colors with 4 different scents); pic of woman in black dress; read Ultra Clear on the label which it read in the pic; & it was 2.6 oz. which is also in the ad.

On the shelf, there wasn't anything showing a sale price, but this was not my regular store; I only have been in there a handful of times; so I thought maybe they don't put sale prices on the shelves??; I don't know.

This was the only one that looked like it, so I figured it had to be it.

Took it to the register & it rang up $4.69.

I took them over to CS & told the woman they were supposed to be on sale for $1.69 but they rang up $4.69. I showed her the picture in their circular. She said she'd be right back, took the deodorants and the receipt & went to the aisle where they were. Came back & said this wasn't the item that was on sale. I said but it's the exact one in the picture in the ad; she said the ad was a mistake.

I asked her which one was on sale, & she brushed me off quickly; so I repeated my question, & she quickly said they didn't have it. Here it was Tues. & they didn't have an item that went on sale on Sunday?

A guy who worked in CS who was there (who I've gotten before & is very nice) looked at the pic in the circular & the item & said to her that it was the same item; & she repeated that they made a mistake with the ad. I said I had come down specifically for that item, & the guy said to me, "I'm with you!" So I asked if there was a Mgr I could talk to (it was just strange the way she brushed off about the correct item when I asked which it was, if this wasn't it). They called for a Mgr but no one came. She went to help someone else. The guy said to me that he would try calling someone else; that there was this woman who was good & could help me. He called her & told her the whole thing, & she said there was a mistake in the ad; period.

The guy hung up & you could see he felt bad; and repeated what he said before; "I'm with you!" and then, "I think you're right; and I also think they should do something!" I thanked him and we talked for a minute more.

I was going to ask for a rain check, but I was in a hurry to pick my DH up, so I figured I would go tomorrow to my Shop Rite by my house that I'm shopping at for 10 yrs.

I understand if there is a mistake in the ad, they can't sell it to you for the lower price, as they would lose money; & the manuf. is involved here (they don't want their item selling for the wrong price).

It printed out 2 catalinas; each for $2. for Mitchum deod., so that was okay; eased the pain or blow a little. ;o)
(Had just come from McDonalds for a free McCafe Iced Mocha; the q was for a hot one & a size small. The girl there asked me if I wanted a cold one; & I said I would prefer it. She had a problem ringing it up & the Mgr said it was cause it was set up for a free size small (the hot ones) & the cold ones don't come in small; just medium; so he said he would give me a free medium instead. And the Mgr told me to come back on Mondays for the free tiny one [I had been there the day before for it ;o) ] Whoo hoo! Sadly, it take very little to make my day! ;o) So I came off of that nice experience, only to be disappointed by the deodorant error. BTY, if anyone hasn't had one of those McCafe Iced Mocha yet, OMG; they are great!!!

Anyway, did anyone else have a problem with this item?
Did anyone else try to purchase it; the one with the woman in the dress on it?

What is the one that is on sale?

TIA!

Oh, I don't know... I sent DH to go grab a deoderant for himself while I was checking out the Fructis stuff, so I didn't look at the deoderant stuff... so I don't know how it was at my store. His men's Degree went through fine...the sale price and all.

That stinks, though... and what a hassle! Blech!

My feelings exactly!

Thanks for letting me know that the men's worked! If I can't get the deod. at the other SR tomorrow, then I know I can always go with the men's.

Thanks again!

I bought 4 of the mens varieties using the .75 q without a problem. I have to go back to use my other 2 tomorrow.

sorry you had such a problem.

try this link to view the ones that are listed on the online shopping site as being on sale....the ultra clear is totally in the ad, so that stinks and they really did not handle your problem very well. Hopefully this link can help you see which ones are "really" on sale.
Sorry about the bad trip/unclear advertising.

Whoops!

Heather,
Thanks for youre reply! I had just gotten through typing the situation of what happened on your other thread; sorry for the dupe; thought you would sooner see it there; & I guess we were typing at the same time & it crossed! ;o) (So please don't feel you have to reply to that one as well! ;o)

I will go on the links you have & check it out.

BTY, the deod. I brought up to purchase, that is pictured in the ad, rang up for $4.29. The one in the store ad says it is regularly $2.29; so I don't know which it is supposed to be, & "what gives"! ;o)

They said at the store that they are not responsible for mistakes in the ads, which I can understand. But I am going to go to the other store tomorrow & see what's up.

FIRST, I am going to go on & look at the links you supplied. Thanks much!

Heather~
Thanks so much for the link to your store (BTY, you are always soooo helpfli; really going out of your way; it does not go unnoticed! And is greatly appreciated!!).

That's a good feature; I have to check out if they have it for my store here in NJ.

Okay; I was going to say that if they had it on sale at your store, I was going to have to take a ride there to get it (but that might not be cost effective with the price of gas ;o); though I have a friend who lives there!

Anyway, it is NOT on sale; and IS listed at $4.29; so I guess they were right; that it is the wrong picture that was in the circular.

But there are so many different types that I see that ARE on sale; that there HAD to be SOMETHING at the store; I found it hard to believe there were none. Again, I knew something was up when the woman just brushed off my question about which was on sale; saying there were none there. She just didn't want to look, obviously.

Anyway, I will go to the other store tomorrow & try to find some; there seem to be enough different types that they should have some. And if they don't, I will get a raincheck.

Many sincere thanks again; YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!!!

Sorry for all the confusion around the Ultra Clear pictured in the ad. I'll edit the other thread so no one else has problems.
Hope your other store has some in stock! or at least is a little better at helping if necessary.
