I had 4 coupons for $5 off a 12pack of Coke Cola.
12packs at my local supermarket are $7.
I had a rain check for buy 2 get 3 free.
but the week I redeemed the rain check, 12packs were on sale for $2.50.
so I redeemed the rain check.
five 12 packs came out to $5.
options:
1) pay the $5 and use the 4 coupons to get 4 more 12 packs.
so nine 12 packs for $5, making it $0.56 each
2) use 2 coupons to pay the $5, then get 2 more 12 packs
seven 12 packs for $0, make it $0 each
3) next week they have buy 2 get 3 free again.
pay the $5 and use the 4 coupons for that week.
Fifteen 12 packs for $5 + $8 = $13 = $0.87/each
I drink one 12pack (cherry coke zero) a week at work.
Which is the better value?
