Ronsons 10 for the price of two!!!

kelmac07 · 03-05-2010, 06:26 PM

Stopped by my local Walmart this evening in hopes of grabbing a few more of these trusty lighters. Wife and I picked up a few other items and off to the check out we went. A young girl rang us up and when I got to the car and checked the bill, it seemed very low (knowing that $ 30 would be for the Ronsons alone). I noticed that she had only rang me up for two at $2.94 each. Being the good guy that I am, I went back in and spoke to the manager about the pricing and that I hadn't been charged properly. The manager looked at me and thanked me for my honestly and said "the other eight are on me, have a great evening".

10 Ronsons for $5.88...

+1 for Walmart!!

I got all excited thinking you found a sale, Mac.

Kudos for your honesty and the score.

Wait, you're saying Ronsons are $15 each at your Walmart?

Last time I was there they were under $3 each.

14holestogie · 03-06-2010, 06:12 AM

Well done all around! Kudos.

10 Ronsons (at $ 2.94) = $ 29.40

I know it's not CA math...but work with me brother.

Sweet! Get 'em while they last! My walmart hasn't had them for a year or more.
