That's a lot like the stuff some brands pull when you buy a package of more than one. I priced some deodorant and one pack was $5.23. Right beside it was a two pack of the same deodorant saying, "Big savings on two pack." The two pack was $10.97.

At least it was a saving. I've seen the stunt played various ways to try and fool you that a 12-pack still over $5, when actually it's over $6.

Compared prices on the Family Size box of Cheerios and the Mega Size box at Walmart. Higher cost per ounce with the larger Mega size. They count on people not checking, and only get away with it because they post the required cost per ounce tag in extremely small font next to the product.

Never go shopping without my cheaters.

You sure the previous price wasn't a sale also? Around here $8.99 is the going rate for a 12 pack.

I am very good at math and "Know" what a six pak of pop should cost,
be it in a 6 pak, 12 pak, cans or bottles.

24 cans of pop for $7 in not a bargin.

 

[Rustyt1953]

The average cost of a 12 pack of pop around here (depending on brand) is $6-$7.

A 30 pack of my favorite barley pop is $22.99

You must not buy much pop.

JUST about all packages are Smaller these days. Publix always has several tables full of” deals” at the front of the store, just have to double check prices.

Not a bargain but it is a price I have not seen here for almost a decade.

Stop drinking soda.

Funny how their prices always go up when they run a "buy some, get some" promotion.

Here's a screenshot from their weekly ad...

This tasted the same as Diet Dr Pepper and costs $1.25 for a 2 liter bottle. They often run them on sale for $1.

I actually prefer the 2 liter bottles over 12 oz cans. We have a 10 cent bottle deposit here in Michigan and dealing with a bunch of returnables is a royal pain.

Watch those shelf tags, and do the math. I find wrong tags at Walmart all the time where the weight, price per oz., and total price, do not jive.

Not to mention a lot of times smaller sizes are less per oz than larger sizes.

Between $20 and $24 at Costco...

"30 equals 97"...

They're wider sheets too, which is a perfect fit for me!
Beat that!!

Realize that the big grocery stores, like Meijer where I shop, things like soft drinks and liquor are stocked and priced by the vendors and not by the stores. I would think it would be the same at Kroger.

 

[Bald1]

Are you sure it wasn’t also on sale at $3.98 ? Just a different sale price. That seems very low for a 12pk of Coke. Around here the store brands are that price.

 

[Walkin Horse]

I do quite well at Publix with the bogo. 2 six packs of ginger ale at $7.99. Cookies 2 packs for $4. When I see something I use like coffee pods I stock up sometimes saving as much as $40. I know something’s they are more expensive on and I do without. Other things I don’t care I just buy them.

We were at petsmart the other day. Sale on wet cat food. Yellow sale tag save 1 cent.
