In some states the store must give you the sale price for buying a single item in thoes types of sales if you ask. They are not required to offer it to you.

In the end you were the person who held up the line arguing with the cashier and then the manager over a dollar.

I have never once had a grocery store require that the entire lot be purchased to get the sale price. Must be something that they do in Canada, but they sure as hell don't require that here in the US. At least not in any of the few dozen chains I've been in throughout at least 25 states.

I'm confused. As OP appears to be from the US and so do you, how did Canada come into this?

It's 5 for $20, not 1 for $4. The cashier probably wasn't aware of the special. If you bought 5 of them and you got rang up for $25+, yes, there's a problem. But you didn't. You just pwned yourself.
