My fiance' saw the scanner print the incorrect price on a 
bottle of wine at Osco/Jewel.  When she told the cashier, she/he 
filled out some form and gave my fiance' the bottle of wine for free.
When my finace' came over to my place after shopping and told me
about the incident, I hopped in my car and went
back to that same store (it was only a minute away by car). 
I was hoping to get some more free wine/bottles before they corrected the 
price in the scanner or bottles on the shelf.  But I was to late,
the bottles on the shelf were already corrected to match the scanner's
price. 

I'm normally not this cheap, but I'm planning to make some wine 
this winter and need the (empty) bottles.


Free is a great price!
