I guess that is one of those "lost leaders". I did take advantage of that and bought 2. They did the same thing with turkeys around Thanksgiving. It's just that I really don't want to have to examine every grocery store flyer, then drive all over town trying to find those "lost leaders" before they're sold out like it was some kind of scavenger hunt. I'd like to just go to the store (1 store) and get what I need. And I guess that is what grocery stores here are hoping the vast majority of people will do.
I do like the Safeway/Target combination building because I can get the deals at Safeway and then if there are things that I still need but refuse to pay their high prices...I can just walk over to target and find it for less (most of the time). I also closely examine and take note of the expiration dates on fresh meats and poultry and try to come into the store on the days that those items expire. Both Safeway and Target mark them down by as much as 50%
