I remember the old days (last century), when retailers gave real quantity discounts to encourage shoppers. The point of sale system applied the discount to the last item. (For example, “3 for $1” meant .38 each with the third one at .24.). That discounting seems to have disappeared, replaced by pointless quantity pricing, like “4 for $1, .25 each”.
And I remember a long time ago, when our kids were small and we did not have any money, our local supermarket advertised hamburger for 33 cents a pound or 3 pounds for a dollar. We always bought 2 pounds at a time. Some times I would buy 2 pounds and then my wife would buy two pounds.

It doesn't say $1.00 each; it says 1.00 each. Might be 1.00 lb each or something else.

Anyone that doesn’t like grapefruit needs to eat one fresh off of a Florida tree. Just like sweet corn fresh out of the garden or a vine ripened honeydew. SO much better than what you find in the store. Too many people have never eaten fresh fully ripe fruits and vegetables.

What a bargain. You buy one for a dollar, then a second one for a dollar, then return them both and get three dollars back! 😀

Years ago Ralph Nader identified this scam. £1 each or 2 for 3. Stupidity makes people assume "bulk" buying is cheaper. Buy 2 singles for £2. Seemples.

I like Rouses, but they are sloppy about accurate pricing. As one who carefully watches the scanning at checkout, they tend to have a LOT of errors...prices rung up that don't match the tag on the shelf. Almost always in the store's favor. Hmmm. I've even complained to a manager about it, but it continues. This 2 for the price of 3 "sale" doesn't surprise me.

It is a fact, four out of three people in the world have a problem with math.

So I believe the 1.00 is a unit count, not a price for one. Or maybe not, either way damn confusing.
