I have previously shared how much I like the Children’s Place and the awesome deals that can be found. Recently after receiving a $10 reward in the mail I went to the store to purchase about $10 worth of clothes for the future because they are set for the current summer.
The sale was unbelievable as usual; merchandise rang up from $1.99 upwards. I purchased two sweaters, one pair of jeans, one pair of shoes, and one set of capri pants. The line was wrapped around the store so I was ready to leave. While I waited, I should have calculated my total because it came to $13.96, after I used my $10 rewards coupon and a 15% off coupon.
Once in the car, I reviewed my receipt and found 3 items on it that I did not purchase. I mentioned it to my husband and then returned to the store and received a refund of almost $12 so it pays to review your receipt. You should also know what to expect at the check out counter.
Total spent out of pocket – Less than $2
Has this ever happened to you?

Yup. this happened to me at The Childrens Place too. I went to the store to return a few items that I purchased online. Of course I couldn’t resist their Memorial Day sale of $4.99 tops .. so I ended up also buying a handful of items. For this I used a 15%-off coupon.
When I got home and reviewed my receipt, I realized that the coupon was applied to my returns as well … so I got a discount on my refund, of all the crazy things — which meant they gave me less money back than they should have.
Always check your receipt before you leave the store.
