The bags of individually wrapped Lifesavers are normally $2.40/bag. One local store had them on sale for $1/bag. Inside the specially marked bag was a coupon for $1 off. How "DUH" do you have to be for this one? Open the bag, get the coupon, go back and get another bag. Pay the cashier 7¢. Open the bag, get the coupon, go back and get another bag. Pay the cashier 7¢. Round and round and round through the checkout. Got $24 worth of candy for 70¢. Thanks!

LOL! What a great deal!

Is the $1 coupon visible through the bag? How many pieces of candy are in a bag?
R B Sep 2, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
No, but the bags that had coupons were marked. I didn't count them for free! :)
Donna S. Sep 2, 2009, 8:42pm EDT
....and how many bags of opened candy are left in the store???lol...good deal.
R B Sep 2, 2009, 9:33pm EDT

Great deal! Personally, I don't care for lifesavers...
R B Sep 2, 2009, 9:34pm EDT
Candy, round, hard, with a hole, and free. Good enough.

Glad you approve.

Well, aren't you the clever shopper. This would be a great idea for those who buy Halloween candy, can't beat that price. Did the cashier think you were odd?
R B Sep 2, 2009, 9:36pm EDT
I waited til later, no customers, to go round and round, and warned her on the first one. Just a curious smile.
Debby O. Sep 2, 2009, 9:21pm EDT
LOL! Did you really do that?
R B Sep 2, 2009, 9:37pm EDT
You bet. I like a good deal.

HA! Great way to stimulate the economy. The store gets the $1 back. They can pay their bills.

Great job of Shopping. So many people forget to look for those kinds of deals!

I don't do a lot of coupons, but this was too obvious.
