Buy 2, Get 3 Free?
Was making a late night stop at Safeway yesterday and wanted to pick up a Diet Coke Plus 12 pack and then I saw this. "Buy 2 Get 3 Free"
I was first irritated that it's misleading the customers to think they'll get 3 free if they buy 2. They should type out "Buy 2, get 3rd Free" Kept grumbling in my own mind thinking.. how can they get away with this.
Longer I stared at this.. I started to scratch my head. It does say "SAVE $16.47 on 5" and 3 of these packs are equal to $16.47.. do you really get 3 for free?! I mean, isn't this strange?
I got super excited and loaded up my cart with 60 cans of soda and went to the cash register.. yes you get 3 of them free. Meaning, I got 5 - 12 packs of Diet Coke Plus for ~$10! Not bad!

Make sure the product hasn't expired. This isn't a factor with the regular soda but chemical sweeteners lose their punch.

Safeway loves doing that, they have usually high prices on all their items so they can say HEY! Look! Pay (the outrageous 5.96 per 12 pk.) for two and we will THROW in 3 more free.
I noticed stores liked doing this a lot more in California since I moved here, than they did back in Phoenix.
I used to think 3 dollars for a 12 pk was expensive... WOO Was I ever WRONG.
