You have a choice...buy or not buy. Winn-Dixie or a different store. Rather than criticizing.....and finding bones to pick. :)

For example, a little package of 6 powdered donuts will say 10 for $10. So you think it's a dollar a package, no it's not. Buy 1, 2, 5, 9 anything less than 10 and you'll pay a $1.79 a package. 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.

Why does Winn Dixie try to make fools of we Villagers. I love fresh pineapple and have never had to pay more than $3.00 for a pineapple. I walk into Winn Dixie today and see a sign, Pineapples, buy one get one free, save $4.99. I hate it that these stores think we Villagers are too stupid to realize that they simply doubled the price and want us to believe their pineapples are normally $4.99. Go to Winn Dixie after next week and you will be able to purchase a pineapple for less than $3.00 or maybe less.

No. I don’t think of it as finding bones to pick. I honestly didn’t know about the 10 for $10 pricing. I’m glad the poster pointed it out. I don’t like it.

It goes along with the flaming hypocrisy of those decrying the loss of domestic manufacturing/jobs, while always looking for the cheapest priced item...which is usually from some country that pays their workers diddly. :oops:

According to the lady at Winn Dixie, your multiple pricing explanation is not correct. If an item is priced as 10 for $10, then each item is a dollar, regardless of how many you buy. But, there is a limit of 10 items per customer.

I have not encountered the pricing that the poster described, at WD. It might vary by item.
