BRS24, you've hit on a peeve I have with Publix and other stores that do BOGO but not the much preferable half price items. I hate it when I'm buying something I need but don't use much of and it's BOGO. I feel equally dumb to take both knowing most will go to waste, or taking just one and having to explain it to the cashier, or buying one of another brand to avoid the delemna. A case in point is marshmallows. My wife likes them on a sweet potato casserole on Thanksgiving. I'm fine with that but would rather not have them around the house after Thanksgiving. Invariably they have big bags BOGO. Last year I gave a bag to a lady in the parking lot. Usually I trash one bag. Which isn't a wasteful thing in as marshmallows are nothing but a sticky ball of sugar. They are ok in hot chocolate but I'm in Florida so I don't have a need for a steaming cup of hot anything except coffee in the morning.We go on Mondays for the BOGO - prime pork tenderloins, and give one to our daughter. If we forget and only get one, they chop the price in half, and I wish Publix would do the same. On Tuesdays, they have a $3.99/lb ground chuck or boneless chicken breasts. The only other things we get at FM are funky ingredients and fancy produce that is not at Publix.
Did I mention Beers went to Oklahoma and we need a big?
