These “Mix and Match” promotions (buy 10 qualifying items, get $5 off at check out time) are difficult to keep track of when I’m shopping, but they seem like a good deal. Do the prices and unit costs on GroceryBagSavings.com reflect this kind of promotion?
If you buy the ten qualifying items and get $5 off, you’re basically getting 50 cents off each item. It’s kind of a paperless ‘coupon’, so that’s how we treat it. We put the undiscounted cost in the “Price” column and use it to calculate the unit cost, but we post a prominent reminder in “Sale Notes” with the terms of the price reduction. That way, you know how much you’re going to pay, either regular or discounted, and there’s no confusion.
