W: I sure feel cheated!
M: Why? Did somebody take advantage of you?
W: Not really. It''s really my own fault. I saw a sales promotion advertisement in the newspaper last week saying that many items at T Mart were going to be marked down 50% over the weekend. So, I got up early Saturday morning and rushed over there first thing and bought several of the items.
M: Sounds like you got some great deals! So why do you feel cheated?
W: I guess I was so caught up in the excitement of getting such a good discount that I didn''t bother to notice the expiration dates on some of the products. I bought a large box of milk, thinking it would last me the whole week. I just noticed today that it was due to expire tomorrow! What a waste!
M: I learned the same lesson the hard way myself. It''s frustrating, I know.
W: It makes me so angry to realize that not only did I not save 50%, I lost money because I had to throw the milk away.
M: Shoppers have to be on guard against those “beautiful traps” of advertising. We think we''re getting a really good discount when in fact we''re just getting a lower quality product.
W: I''ll still watch for discounts, but I''m going to make sure I always check the expiration dates from now on.
M: That’s what I do.
