What is a good deal?

I have heard this question many times! In our grocery ads I try to point out what I think is a good deal by putting an * next to the item. Well, here is a general guide to use while shopping. Anything that is advertised at the lower price or less is a great deal, so stock up at the low price. The higher “to” price is still an OK deal, buy only what you need. Otherwise wait.
