This week went into the Publics liquor store My neighbor told me Pinnacle Vodka was on sale Wild Cherry $14 and some change Been paying $16 and some change Hey save $4 on two bottles. Not Bad I entered the store and immediately Saw a display that Pinnacle Vodka was on sale buy 2 get 3rd free $16 and some change the $14 was last weeks sale I asked the attendant If flavored was part of the the buy 2 get 3rd free ..Replied yes their around the corner Boy was I surprised good old Publics was up to there old tricks raise the price and scam you into thinking your getting a bargain Price for flavored went from $16 to $24 when you look at many of the weekly sales your getting scammed. Same with Winn Dixie boneless skinless chicken breasted by one get one free save $7 a pound any where else $2 a lb Bargain aren't bargains in senior Town

"Bargains aren't bargains in senior Town". Sorry, this is marketing 101 and it is NOT just here. It is how products are marketed. There is a long list of misdirections used to market to us today. And sadly they almost all work. |

If the math is there for you to see and you think you understand...but actually don't...then it is not a scam...greed makes many people make mistakes and fortunately for you it didn't cost you much to learn a lesson. Retail depend on people hurrying to conclusions.

The deal works out to $11 a bottle, so in my world that's still a bargain. And better than the previous week at $14 a bottle. This falls under the old adage, you have to spend money to save money.

Bad enuf people spend on liquor . But keep in mind Publix has higher prices than everyone . My two checks are fresh salmon in the fresh fish dept m $11.99 . Aldi's 7.99 . Eggs large 1.59- 1.99 but Aldi's at 0.98 . PS Walmart eggs at 36 to a box are more than the dozen each price!!!

Math is an acquired skill that a few seem to have missed.
