I went grocery shopping this morning. Our Price Chopper was having a special one-day sale event and there some things I wanted plus things I needed. Didn't think it was anything special... picked out my stuff and then started seeing people loading up on all sorts of things... like a grocery cart filled with nothing but paper towels. I had my one... but not a cart full!
My daughter did her shopping after school... hitting all of the stores and ending up at Price Chopper. Again she saw someone with a cart load of paper towels. The shelf was then empty.... and just about everything on the sale was gone!! Even the boxes and boxes of honey crisp apples I had seen the produce people putting in bins! Guess the $.69/lb was really good. Glad I got mine!!
Maybe that will convince Price Chopper that people really want lower prices and willing to pay for them.
Often the grocery stores here will put quantity limits on the popular sale items.
