The Checkout Promise: Your Guide to Fair Pricing

In these challenging economic times, every cent counts. That's why we're excited to share our new blog post, The Checkout Promise, inspired by a suggestion from one of our incredible members.Here's the deal: Thanks to the Scanner Price Accuracy Code, if you're charged more at checkout than what's advertised on the shelf, you might not have to pay the extra amount. Here's what you need to know:

• Price Accuracy: If the checkout price exceeds the shelf price and the store follows the Code, you could receive the item for free or at a discount.

• Review Your Receipt: Mistakes happen. Check your receipt and speak up before you leave if you spot a discrepancy.

• Know Your Rights: While not all retailers participate, many do—including big names like Walmart and Costco. Look for signs in-store or ask staff for details.

Stay informed and ensure you're getting the deal you deserve. For a full list of participating stores and more details, visit the Retail Council of Canada's Scanner Price Accuracy Code page.
