It's that way on everything they have priced by multiples. Go to Publix and if for example a Pizza is marked 2 for $9.00, and you buy one, you'll pay $4.50. They don't cheat the customers.

Winn Dixie will also make you become a member and get a key card. If you don't and an item is on sale, you don't get the sale price unless you have the key card scanned. They seem to want to find ways to gig the customer out of a few dollars more. That's why I really like shopping at Walmart, especially the new Neighborhood store. You know most times when you buy something there, it's the best price around. We do our shopping about 70% Walmart and 30% at Publix.

If you ask to use the store card and you get the same discount. You just don't get any gas miles.
