There\u2019s lots to shop for this time of year, and a variety of seemingly great deals. However, this is also a time for caveat emptor \u2013 buyer beware.\u00a0 Eggnog that is advertised for $1.69 may be a bargain, but not if the store sold it for the regular price of $2.99.\u00a0 Whether the error is intentional or due to negligence by the retailer, it\u2019s all the same to the shopper; he or she<br \/>\nwas overcharged.<\/p>\n<p>Overcharges can happen any time, but the likelihood may be greater during the holiday season. Inexperienced temporary help and more sale prices can lead to increased incidents of overcharging.\u00a0 Most retailers know that it\u2019s important to have accurate prices; it\u2019s the law and maintains customer confidence.<\/p>\n<p>The California Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards\u2019 (DMS) primary mission is to ensure fair competition for businesses, accurate measurements for consumers and true representations of pricing and products for commercial transactions. If someone is overcharged, we want to know about it.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you know if you\u2019re charged the right price? Start by paying attention to the prices you see and determine what the lowest price is. Retailers are required to display prices to a consumer as they are\u00a0scanned and added up.\u00a0 Watch the prices and if you believe you have been overcharged, speak up.\u00a0 The cashier may make an adjustment on the spot, or call for a price check.\u00a0 You have the right to be charged the correct price.<\/p>\n<p>How do you know what the right price is?\u00a0 What if a sign says \u201c2\/$2.00\u201d?\u00a0 What if\u00a0 the sign says \u201c2\/$2.00, 1 at regular price\u201d?\u00a0 State law says that any requirements that a buyer needs to meet to get the sale price need to be conspicuously posted.\u00a0 In the first example, the sign doesn\u2019t tell a buyer for sure whether they have to buy two or not, which can lead to confusion.<\/p>\n<p>If you are made to pay more than the lowest posted, quoted, or advertised price, it\u2019s a crime under California law.\u00a0 DMS reminds shoppers to check their store receipts for overcharges.\u00a0 If you are overcharged and can\u2019t resolve it with the retailer, please\u00a0 contact either DMS at 916-229-3000 to file a complaint or call your county\u2019s Agricultural Commissioner\/Sealer\u2019s office.\u00a0\u00a0 A list of county contact information and other consumer information can be found at our website, w<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdfa.ca.gov\/dms\">ww.cdfa.ca.gov\/dms<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the holidays approach, shoppers scan advertisements, make lists, and hunt down the best bargains.
