		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in the process of changing all my appliances over to stainless steel, in hopes they will be easier to keep looking nice. At least that&#8217;s the theory.
My microwave looks like it&#8217;s survived a war, but it works like a champ. When we first got it, we overcooked everything. We called it &#8220;the microwave from [...]]]></description>

You can imagine my surprise when I recently began seeing them in stores again. My husband has been faithfully checking every store in our area for my favorite &#8212; Chocolate Chip Ice Box Cookies &#8212; [...]]]></description>

While shopping I found 7 cartons of laminate flooring all marked with green stickers for $3.77. I have shopped at Home Depot for years and have always known green stickers to be clearance/closeout items.

Regarding the Huber Heights, Ohio Meijer Store
I was thrilled to find your website as my loathing of the snide, irresponsible management of Meijer has festered over the years. I refuse to shop them. However, (even in my absence) they continue to snub and urinate on my family, my neighbors, and me.
When I moved to [...]]]></description>

I am not aware of any law regarding this particular incident, but maybe you know of this practice. In my opinion, JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores is notorious for not honoring advertised prices, mismarking merchandise, and posting confusing signs.
