… is much more difficult now that the shelves are covered with “Red Alert Prices” tags.
Within the past week or so, many “Red Alert Prices” tags have begun to pop up on Jewel-Osco shelves and aisles. How many?
Over in another thread, some of my readers have been complaining about the tags:
“…those big red tags advertising low prices but those tags are on every piece of product. It is so over stimulating, and I can’t shop there anymore.”
“…those annoying red flags makes it much harder to shop. That is ridiculous to think that all those items are ‘red alert’ priced.”
I stopped into Jewel last night to pick up the new ad, and I took a few photos of the shelves. I don’t like the tags either.
These tags have made it impossible to quickly browse the shelves for product prices. You cannot see the prices by simply scanning down the sides of the aisles — you need to be standing directly in front of a product, between the Red Alert Prices signs, to actually read the shelf price tags.
What do you think of Jewel’s “Red Alert Pricing” shelf tags?

Hi- I wonder if enough people complained about these signs on facebook if Jewel would get the message, and would take some of the signs down.

I was at the Crystal Lake Jewel yesterday and took a quick peek at the clearance rack. I was shocked to see three boxes of Meijer brand spaghetti! I don’t know if they actually had Jewel price tags on them (I was running late for an appointment), but I did snap a quick photo. Jill, if it’s possible to post or send you the photo, please let me know how. There have been a lot of changes at Jewel of late, but that sight was quite unexpected!!

Have not been to Jewel to see these but it is over kill. Since take over feel like prices are higher. Not as many great deals. Using Aldi more again even with stocking up at good sales. Also price match at Walmart a lot to save on trips. Jewel is not my store of choice even though the closest store to me and with these red alert prices seems to me people will start to see nothing as on sale. Rather than what Jewel wants you to see everything on sale.

the ceiling!!!! I cannot read what items are down which aisle and that annoys me to no end!
If I’m in a hurry & trying to find something quickly, you cannot look down the long aisles to read what is there-REALLY frustrating, as it happened to me at the WDS store last week. :(
