10 for $10.00-Don't be Deceived

10 for $10.00!

Super! But is that the best deal?

That's what I hope this simple lesson will show you.

I was browsing the Publix ad and saw that Campbell's Soup is going to be 10 for $10.00. Now, that IS a great deal; however, if you continue looking through the ad you will discover on the back page that Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup and Campbell's Tomato Soup are $1.99 for a 4 Pack--that's apprx. 50 cents per can.

I realize that you may not want just Chicken Noodle or Tomato but if you do plan to buy even 2 Chicken Noodle or Tomato Soups it would just make sense to go ahead and buy the 4 pack for $1.99 instead of 2 cans for $2.00.

Another very good example is from the sales ad that is just ending, this one is to Publix's advantage. :-)

Several stores have Banquet Frozen Dinners 10 for $10.00 and with some super coupons I had that was going to be a great deal. But Publix had them for 87 cents--much better deal!!

Hope this little lesson helps. I know if you are just starting out with coupons this can seem overwhelming but once you get used to "buying by the ads" you will start remembering prices from other stores and easily spot a good deal when you see it.

And I will be taking advantage of the 10 for $10.00 for some Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable Soup since it isn't sold in the 4 pack.

Blessings,
