Did you know that most deals in food advertisements run on a 3 month cycle? Neither did I. Further, food items regularly go on sale about a month after coupons for them are printed in the newspaper. Huh?
These tidbits appeared in an article, by Teresa Mears, in today's Herald. The columnist wrote about being exasperated by her having stocked up on items only to have them appear in ads as a buy one get one free special shortly thereafter.
I am going to have to pay closer attention to these little details . . .

I've never noticed that phenom either. It's kind of like looking at the colors of the twist ties on bread wrappers to determine what loaf was baked and put out when. You can tell freshness if you have the list that shows the colors of the days that go with the colors of the ties. Which I don't. Could these things be a great conspiracy? Have you ever seen a coupon for bread?
Bread gets the five finger test in this household. I don't have the color codes either. Some breads with plastic slip-on closures have the date printed on the tags. I abs'lutely luurrve the Arnold Oat Nut bread. Arnold received top ratings. I agree.
There is never a coupon or sale for sugar free candy. I mean the small bags at the grocery store. Not te big box of candy.
Actually, I have one, BigEd. Russell Stover. I just haven't used it. Yet.
Hum, that explains why we have so mcuh Snapple. First, its buy two and the third on is free. Than its buy one get on free with the instore coupon. Next, it will be just buy one because you can. Interesting concept.
