Like an SC, I did not read the sign correctly.

[Mr Hero]

But what the sign ACTUALLY said vs. what I THOUGHT it said, turned out to be better.

I was grocery shopping and was checking out. There was a deal going on with certain candy. I decided to take advantage of this. I picked up three items.

Checker: Would you like to get another item? It's Buy 2 Get 2 Free.
Me: Oh I thought it was Buy 2 Get 1 Free.
*happily adds another item of sugary goodness*

We'll just say you fourgot.

A little four thought would have prevented that.

Or doublethink².

[csquared]

Four sure.

I am glad he told us about this deal. We won't make the same mistake as fourwarned is fourarmed.

I still haven't figured out why Pepsi runs a Buy 2 Get 3 Free promotion every now and then. But I do take advantage of it.

To expose you to their mildly addicting harmless alkaloid additive, of course.

I don't think that's Pepsi, as I've seen it only at Safeway/Randall's/Rylander's, and never anywhere else.

I think Harris Teeter had it once.

I think Harris Teeter had it once.

They tend to run those every so often around here, especially on the soft drinks.

Depends on the sales at stores and vendors. At my store it prolly be basically the same price, just different wording. Like Pepsi normally costs 4.99 but we have had deals where its 4/$11.00 and then get one diet free or something to that effect.

Also the wording can differ too.

Right now, we're running a Buy More Save More on 12 pk Pepsi products.

Buy 1 @ 4.49
Buy 2 @ 2/8.00
Buy 3 @ 3/10.00
Buy 4 @ 4/12.00

Limit 4. And there are certain flavors excluded, so it gets pretty confusing unless the customer actually reads the pre-printed signage we have on both the aisle shelving and the pallet display (as well as our weekly ad flyer.)

But even so, I'll run into one that still doesn't get it . . .
