"Water is too expensive; I'll just get a soda." I'm minutes away from leaving town on a road trip and I needed to stop at Whalemart for a couple things, including an easy-to-eat-while-driving lunch. I snagged my stuff plus a grilled chicken wrap and jetted over to the self-checkout. Ringing up my purchases, I noticed the wrap came in at $3.98 and I'm pretty sure the tag at the deli said $2.98. As I'm digging my debit card out and debating making a fuss over the $1 difference, I hear the person at the checkout next to me say "This isn't ringing up right!" I look over and behold a ham who was also purchasing lunch a buffet the whole damn store. It had one of those huge deli- meat-loaded soggy sandwiches, a full size bag of BBQ Fritos, a premade yogurt fruit parfait, and a slice of carrot cake all ready to go. Oh, and a Dasani water to make it healthy, teehee. Herein lay the problem. The self-checkout attendant was now attempting to help it while it waved the Dasani around.  "This was only supposed to be a dollar, but it's ringing up as $1.68!" The attendant mumbled something about the tag being wrong and it really is 68 cents more. The ham heaved a dramatic sigh and grumbled "Well I guess I'll just put it back and get something else." It waddled to the refrigerator by the stand and swaps the $1.68 water for a $1.29 Coke.  This savvy maneuver saved it 39 cents, you guys.  "Eating healthy is sooooo expensive!!!! I can't afford this designer water (which could have been FREE had I packed my own damn water bottle) when I already maxed out muh EBT card on this carrot cake plus enough food for 2 other people!!! You just don't understand food privilege!!"
