So, the other day, my wife and I go out to the supermarket (GIANT) to pick up a few things.

The 80/20 ground beef that was on sale for $2.99lb was on our list.

When we get to the meat bin, all the packages were "family size" (6 - 8 lbs). We weren't looking to buy that much, so my wife says, "Go look on the other side. Sometimes they have smaller packages there."

I walk around to the other side of the meat bin, and sure enough, there's about a dozen or so packages half the size of the "family packs". I start sorting thru them, searching for the one that suits our needs, and I come across a 3.69lb package marked $1.11 . OBVIOUSLY a misprint, but hey . . . they HAVE to sell it to me at the price on the label, right ?

I looked thru the remaining packages and found another 3.69lb package marked exactly the same, $1.11 . In the cart they both go. When we get to the checkout, (we used self checkout to avoid any possible confrontation with a cashier), and when we scan them, there is an additional electronic coupon that drops the price down from $1.11 to $0.90 !

Bottom line . . . 7.39 lbs of 80/20 ground beef for $1.80 !

Every once in a while, you are in the right place at the right time. 👍
