My local supermarket (Fry's) has a little coupon dispenser next to the receipt printer. I haven't really paid much attention to it in the past, but something amusing happened this month that means I might be looking closer at it in the future.
I've been buying these frozen fruit bars (think popsicles) lately; they're a reasonably cheap, low-calorie snack. A couple weeks ago, while unpacking my shopping, I noticed that I had gotten a coupon for $1.00 off on the brand I've been buying--if I buy two boxes at once. Okay, so I bought two boxes a few days later. And out pops a coupon--$1.00 off when I buy three boxes. I was actually a little miffed.
So today I go to the store and they've got a real special going--$1.00 off per box when you buy four. Well, that was too good a deal to pass up (and I wish I'd brought the coupon as well). So I proceed to checkout, where the coupon dispenser duly prints yet another coupon--this time $1.25 off if I buy five boxes!
This time I was amused. Yeah the cents off per box keeps declining, but I can't help wonder what happens next. Should I go up there with the two coupons, and take advantage of the double savings by buying eight boxes? What will the next coupon say? Will I run out of freezer space eventually?
