The man’s parents spent their last years in Florida and it was always all about Publix. I buy at Whole Foods predominately because they conform more to the way I shop.
Both are good for their markets.
This is true. If the sale is a buy one, get one free, you have to pay full price if you want just one. So unless it is something perishable, buy the two and take one home.
If the sale is two for $8, you can buy just one for $4 though. These sales aren’t as good a deal as the BOGOs, but some discount is better than nothing.
So read the signs on the shelves or website carefully.
