I located the manager and related the price difference between the advertising sign and the actual price to be charged. The manager's response was " So, what is the problem?" I told them that the price advertised should reflect the price I would be charged. He then asked what I thought he should do and I told him to change the display sign. He refused and said that the lower price yellow sign would remain and it was the corporate policy not to change the yellow signs. He then stated that it was better than no sign even though he knew it was not the correct price.
I later sent an email to the corporate office asking them to clarify what I consider to be blatant and deceptive practices.
It would be very wise to double check your prices when shopping at Aldi grocery store. The manager definitely has an attitude and was unwilling to correct a wrong. I was not trying to buy the meat at the lower price.

This sounds like a big communication problem.

Did he say that when you rang out at the cash register, the higher price was the one you would pay?

In many instances, the cash register has been programmed to ring up the special price regardless of what is stamped on the package.
