Target: Buy 2 And Save! Sort of!

Reader D says:

I ran across this display for Secret Invisible Solid at my local Target this morning. Note the prices…and the sticker on the right cap, which says, “TWIN PACK…Buy 2 & Save!”

We see “awesome deals” like this often enough that we feel required to post them occasionally just to remind you not to take things like “Buy 2 & Save” at face value. Resist!

    Given the Buy 2 & Save is part of the packaging, I don’t really know what Target could’ve done if they didn’t want to discount the twin pack…

    The toilet paper at HEB (the local supermarket chain in Austin) for the HEB brand is _far_ cheaper in the 4-pack than in the 12-pack.

    We’re talking like $0.50-1.00 cheaper.

    I get funny looks in the checkout line with like 6 4-packs instead of 2 12-packs – until I explain to the cashiers who themselves are surprised

    In their defense though, the sticker is put on by the company that makes Secret, not Target.
