Maybe $15 is a lot of money to her. Maybe it's groceries or much needed clothes for her child. She clearly lied about the price, and she has to live with herself and her tactics. It is only $15, and you don't have to do any more business with her in the future. We can teach our children the impact of our actions on others and how you felt used and betrayed by this woman's actions, and that sometimes people are unethical creeps. We can also teach them how we can let things go and move on. I can think of a lot of bigger things I would want to demonstrate fighting for my values on.

That said, it probably isn't worth your energy to deal w/her further. what would be appropriate, I think, is to send her name & your story to the email Mom's group so she can't do the same to anyone else. if it's possible to get her off the list, I'd pursue that too. Integrity within your email group is critical when sharing personal stories etc. good luck!! It’s appalling and ridiculous hat she did this to you, I’m always amazed by folks like this.
