Is it just me, or does anyone else get tired of all the pricing "gimmicks" going on all the time at Kroger. 2 for $1.00, 3 for $5, 2 for $5, 10 for 10 dollars, etc. It gets SO annoying. Why doesn't Kroger make everything as simple and up-front as possible for the customers? Sometimes it confuses customers, and not always just the ones who are "bad at math".
I would respect any company SO much more if they just had regular, ordinary prices like "1.00 each" or "$2.50 each" or whatever, stated clearly on the price tags and signs.
2 for five sounds better than 2.50. Also most people think you have to buy two to Get the sale prices
In many cases, that's true. If a tag says, "Buy 5 save $5.00" you have to buy five in order to get the discount. You can't just buy one and save a dollar.
Also, with the Mega Events and soda sales, a lot of the time you actually do have to purchase specific quantities. It's confusing.
what pisses me off (as a customer) is when I had 2 items on "buy 4 save 4" then found progresso soup with the red tag. Sweet, I'll grab 2 of those, have my 4 items and leave. Wrong. I see a sign on the endcap of progresso "when you buy 8" yeah, that's not confusing at all. They need to do those sales separately. I didn't buy 8, I didn't buy 4 (I put all the items back), got my milk and left. I can't be the only 1. It's ok if the mega sale actually has lots of items to choose from, but this one didn't have many eye popping deals so I didn't buy anything
