Buy 1 Get 8 Free
Harris Teeter is my current “most shopped” grocery store for a number of reasons. In no particular order, here they are:
- FREE Samples
- Good Quality, Fresh Food
- Good Weekly Sales
- Double Coupons (and sometimes Triple)
One secret of Harris Teeter’s is the Buy One Get One Free policy. Look closely at the weekly circular and you’ll see this note:
“Item rings at half price.”
My favorite deal of the week is Buy One Get One Free Pints of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream! If you buy only one pint, you pay only $2.00.
If you compare this pint cost to a single serving at a Ben & Jerry’s Scoop shop, the deal you’re really getting is: “Pay for one serving and get 7 servings free.” Here’s the logic:
- Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop: $3.49 for one 1/2 cup serving
- Harris Teeter: $2.00 for four 1/2 cup servings
Therefore, spend $4 at Harris Teeter, get 8 servings or spend $3.49 at Ben & Jerry’s, get 1 serving.
