Reader Kevin noticed this display, where someone was asked to go to the trouble to place shelf tags on every variety of Knorr pasta packets, even though the packets are effectively not on sale at all. Those shelf tags may have driven sales, since we’re drawn to bright and shiny signs, but not because there was an actual sale.

Who wants that crap anyway? Full of sodium and terrible for you.
It's barely food.
Giant has lots of good sales, but this isn't one of them.
They have good sales because they inflate the price pre sales event then mark it down to what it should cost.
The price of meat varies, too. Sometimes the sales are like 10% off non sale prices.
The chicken breast that goes on sale is usually injected with 15% salt water. While the boneless/skinless thighs are usually no more than 5%.
Shop around. Many of their prices are the best in town.
I think you're confusing Giant with SuperFresh, where that happened all the time. And now, SuperFresh is gone.
Just keep your eyes open when you shop.
is giant still planning to close and then reopen as a homeless shelter
5/$5 = $1.00 a piece. So this is a ONE CENT SALE. Not worth the effort.
Does anyone remember the investigative reporting done on Food Lion years ago where they were caught red handed washing meat and repackaging it with a new later sale date even though the meat was clearly too old to be sold? It wasn't found in one store but took place throughout the whole chain as common practices. YUCK
1:23, I wish you would not make comments of which you know not what you say. Besides, Super Fresh is gone because of the greed at the top, not the performance at the stores.
7:06 PM - no one commented on the "performance at the stores" at Super Fresh. The Super Fresh in Salisbury priced itself out of the local market. The employees had nothing to do with it.
The Superfresh did not price itself out of the market. It was not failing, either. It made a profit, but of "insufficient size" to meet corporate's requirements. So, they closed a "smaller profit" store. Could be they wanted to reinvest the resources for it to another place that would generate a bigger profit--that is called ROI, Return On Investment.
No one misses that store more than I, but that is business in the capitalist system of America, like it or not.
Just be thankful that you live on delmarva. When the economy collapses, you will have several months worth of chicken to eat by raiding all the poultry farms.
