unadvertised special at Target

[xela]

If you, like me, are one of those people for whom Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup is a staple you always keep around the house, you may be interested in this. If not, probably not so much.

Yesterday I was at Target, and as I walked down an aisle noticed out the corner of my eye a shelf sign saying Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup was on sale for 66 cents a can. Since I'm pretty sure the last time I bought some, it was 3 cans for $4 at Shaws, I grabbed ten cans.

When I looked at my receipt, I saw I'd actually been charged 59 cents a can.

Google finds me no evidence that this is an advertised special; for all I know it may only be this one Target (the one on Commerce Way in Woburn) or may have only been yesterday. But if you have a convenient Target and were planning to go grocery shopping anyway, you might want to check it out.

I don't know about Target, but Whole Foods has a not-particularly-well-advertised deal whereby a shopper can earn a ten-percent discount by buying "in bulk." What constitutes "bulk", and whether the sales staff knows how to apply such a discount, vary depending on store, time, and planetary alignment (apparently.)
