A friend was eager to tell me about an incredible deal he got on the Dove soap he likes at the Avondale Acme. Normally six bars for $7.99, it was on sale for $6.49. He bought three six-packs and used three $4 coupons. On top of this, there was a special deal running where he got a $5 coupon off his next week's grocery purchase.
So he ended up getting 18 bars of soap for $2.47, or 13 cents a bar for soap that usually sells for $1.33 a bar. He said even the cashier commented on what a great deal that was.
Lest anyone should think he is some kind of a soap hoarder, he was quick to add that he's storing it on a shelf against an outside wall, so it's also serving as insulation.
