"Wow I must be bored I'm making a lot of comments tonight!
Regarding this issue, I would imagine there was a price increase on the cereal (gee, can you imagine that?), but the label was either not changed or was accidentally removed (or taken out)...Target never upcharges for multiple quantities - the sign says 3 for $8 ...so if you buy one it is $2.67...if you buy 2 its $5.33."
"One more comment regarding the "lower than our advertised prices"...that sign is only for certain stores that are priced lower for competitive reasons...so its not a "scam" - just like with all retailers, prices at Target vary by region, by state,and usually by city....so you may see that "lower than..." sign at one store but not at another store that is priced just at the advertised price..."
"I work at Target, and this the "2 for $6" is just a nice way to round the numbers up on the sign - when you go to check out, it will ring up on the receipt as "2 & 2.99 each = 5.98"...no worries....
oh and btw, although prices vary by region, our simply orange prices at my store (grove city, ohio) run at 3.29, I believe...for awhile, it was 2.99!"
