Probably should read “nonsense sales,” but still, you get my point. Looking over next week’s ad is an exercise in frustration. They have this entire page of $1 deals!!!! Wow! You think. That’s cheap for cheese…then you look closer and see the sizes – the Kraft grated Parmesan Cheese is 1.25 oz, the Kraft chunk cheese is 3 oz., the Kraft string cheese is 3 oz. They even have puny 8 oz. salad dressings! Is this what they’re doing now, confusing us with low prices but little packages? All these cheeses would be over $5 a pound: The chunk ones drop to $1.88 regularly – for the 8 oz packages!
So naturally, I went back to check out one of my favorite Amazon deals: The Kraft Grated Parmesan, 8 Ounce Cannister (Pack of 12) for only $24.86. The Subscribe & Save option is there, but not available at this time. So what! You are still looking at $2.07 for each 8 oz. container; each container equals 6+ of the Jewel ones. Oh, and remember, we’re not paying real money at Amazon…we’re using our heads and getting e-gift cards from Swagbucks.
Which made me start looking around Amazon for more deals...Fruit of the Loom Boys 5 Pack Spiderman Briefs Prints are on sale for $6. Sizes shown are 4, 6 and 8. That’s $1.20 a pair!
Gee, I don’t remember when was the last time I got excited about a sale at Jewel. I now spend more time at Wags than at Jewel.
