Where’s the logic?

So, my local grocery store has Lean Cuisine entrees on sale half price. As a single mom, this is a GOOD thing — they’re tasty (especially some of the new ones - try the rosemary chicken), fast, and relatively balanced health-wise. Half price means most of them are roughly $1.60 each.

I piled my cart high, trying to visually estimate the size of my freezer. As I check out, the clerk informs me that because I bought a dozen of these, I get free ice cream…a half gallon. Oh, but wait. The ice cream is on special, buy one, get one free. So, I get TWO half-gallons of ice cream free.

Lean Cuisine / Ice Cream… Are they trying to perpetuate a cycle here?

Yes, I got the ice cream, but I opted for the sugar-free, fat-free variety.
