    Nope. I prefer them too because it’s easier to steal from corps.

    You still have to scan stuff, but 500g of potatoes is cheaper than 500g of cheese. Just match the weights and give yourself a discount.

      Had an idea to pre-print barcode stickers for various items that ring up the product as something similar, but cheaper. Then slap em on as you shop and checkout at either the self checkout or with a cashier.

      Not sure if a database of products and their barcode IDs for certain stores exists, but you could also make a trip to do the scanning. I’m sure we could find at least one comrade at each major store to leak a database of barcodes.

        This would work as I’ve done this, but not printing my own but as you said returning with the barcodes from a previous trip and sticking them on as I walk around the store.

        Now I want to print my own so I’ll be looking into doing some testing.
