Smith's website is very slow, very buggy, and very badly designed but I use it because Smith's is cheap. And sometimes they screw up. This is their biggest fuckup that I found yet.

Edit

To be clear - the price is supposed to be ~$9.99.

I think that is saying the coupon is worth $9.99

(3.37 + 9.99 = 13.36)

Unless I am confused and you mean something else.

That's the fuck up. The price should be ~$9.99.

I'll edit my post.

Can't be a coincidence? 52 1/2 ounce is so specific?

It's made by Stouffer's and I think they're a division of Nestle. Make of that what you will.

Oh ok. I remember that place but wasn’t sure you were talking about the same thing.

you eating nazi-metric sized food meow-knit

congrats on deal

[–] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's a great deal. Those are usually 10 plus dollars.

Definitely a fuckup and I would order as many chicken parms as you can tolerate.

Each box is probably a good sized dinner and leftovers for two work lunches.

what's happening here is the sale price of $3.37 is a separate deal from the $9.99 coupon. probably a temporary sale which renders the coupon useless because it's a better deal

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've ordered from them online for years and I've never seen them do that. The way the orange coupon box always works is that you have to "clip" the coupon to get the low price listed in that box.

it seems you didn't clip it (because why would you) so the sale price is totally unrelated to the coupon

I dont think it's a mistake per se, the item just happens to have a 75% off sale right now. the coupon is a worse deal but it's probably available over a longer timeframe

Kroger getting ready for dynamic pricing BS. I guess they still have some bugs to fix.

feels like bad design persisting because it is profitable via confusing people

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pretty certain what I posted is simply a fuckup. But a lot of their regular sales stuff is very badly designed. Like their "2 for 1" stuff is counter-intuitive and confusing.

2 for 1 is usually just 50% off, but they hope you take 2 of them to clear inventory
