Navigating the Fry's Mega Sale

Fry’s Mega Sale…  It’s enough to make YOUR head spin.   You spend 5 hours making your list. Adding and subtracting. You scratch notes on paper. You add as you go. You pull over in the health and beauty aisle to triple check. You lose count halfway through and have to re-add again. You drop your coupons on the floor. AHHHH! They’re out of Propel. Gosh darn it. What do you do???
Mega sales are very confusing…….the average customer just looks at the item and thinks "Oh, it’s $1.49!" — then, someone so graciously points out they have to buy 10. Errrr….ten of the same? Or mix and match? The whole concept can be, well, quite overwhelming.
So, what I want you to do now, is pull out your Mega receipt.  From the last trip you made. See all those "+" on the receipt? THOSE tell you what was a Mega item.

Here are some ways to keep track of your “Tens”:

1. Re-useable bags. Fill up with ten. Tie it shut. Start on the next.
2. Do small trips!
3. Put a plastic basket in the seat area. Fill with ten. Dump in the basket when you have gotten to that point. Start over.
4. Go at night. Or early a.m. Do not go during dinnertime! What a nightmare!
5. Hand over a few coupons at a time. Count them before you hand them over so you know he/she redeemed them all.
6. Have a few extra coupons just in case an item is out!  Likewise, take a few extra things up with you in case you counted wrong.
7. Check the receipt before you leave the store.
