indicates the amount you are to receive.

When buying firewood, be sure to request a receipt which has the name and the
address of the vendor, as well as the delivery date, amount delivered, quantity
upon which the price is based and the total price of the amount delivered.
-
When purchasing gas, be sure to multiply the price per gallon by the number of
gallons so you are sure the price is correct.
-
When purchasing merchandise on a counter scale, remember that net weight does
not include the bag, wrapper or the container in which a commodity may be
weighed.
-
Over-the-counter-scales and their quantity value indicators must be in plain

Always look for the current year Weights and Measures seals on all weighing and
measuring devices.
