  • ON Sale Pricing........ Love Math!

    So I go to Target today and pick up some ketchup and granola bars. The granola bars are on sale 3 boxes for $6 (6 bars per box). The Family size box is 5.29 with 20 bars in it... I love getting something for better than the sale price.

    Ahhh that tricky pricing!!

        I call that first option "For Sale" pricing.

          My wife hates shopping with me. I pick up a box of something while she gets the same thing in a different size. She says "But these are on sale", me "But this is cheaper and you get more", her "But these are on sale", me "I don't care, this is cheaper and you get more". I love her but she is a marketers dream customer.

            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

              I think they hate all of us. We're always "how much is it per ounce? see, this is less". And then they're "I'll show you less."

                Damn, you are all missing the big point here: Why does baldgriff put ketchup on granola bars?

                  thanks Steve! Ketchup was for the brats that I had grilled the night prior and didnt have any condiments at work for the bun.

                        Yes Ketchup and I also like onions and sweet relish with them. Actually I put some cheese inside the bun and lay the brat on it.

                          What is more offensive - putting ketchup on brats (misbehaving children) or on brats (bratwurst)?

                            If the man will put ketchup on granola bars, it doesn't surprise me he puts it on bratwurst, too.

                              ketchup is the official condiment of 9 year old children....the only food item I put ketchup on is hash browns. I prefer mustard for all sausages or potato elements, my favorite condiment for french fries is 1000 island dressing, and my favorite condiment for "fried meat" items is tonkatsu sauce
