Question:
When they say "10 for $10" at a grocery store, does that mean 1 dollar each, or buy 10 for 10 dollars?

Both You $1.00 or 10 for $10. It is just a gimmick, 10 for 10 sounds better than $1 each. Just like 99 cents sounds better than $1.00

They usually mean $1 each. The 10 for $10 just sounds good. But read the sales paper for their "rules". There are some stores that require you to buy 10 to get that price. Just like they may have a sale .79 2-liters (limit 4, additional items are $1.29) Or like turkeys .39 a lb. with a $50 purchase.

Each is $1 but they try to trick you into buying more than you need by doing those 10 for 10 things.

What store are you shopping at? I know for a fact, at Kroger 10 for $10 simply means a dollar each (just got back from there haha)

It literally means buy 10 for $10. If you bought it individually, it's probably more than a dollar each.

Kroger's and Walmart will let you buy one for a dollar. Some stores have fine print that says

'minimum purchase required' ie you must by 10 for $10.

I believe, that legally when they say,"10 for $10" they can't force you to buy all 10 to get the reduced price. They have to sell you 1 for $1. On the other hand, if they say,"buy one, get one free", they don't have to sell you one at half price.

Its Safeway, and with a Safeway card 10 for $10 is the same as $1 each.



I was just there today, a good sale today!

It means that you don't have to buy 10 items to get each one for a dollar. Example: you buy 2 items you pay $2.00, you buy 5 items you pay $5.00. get it

it depends where you shop. they list it 10 for 10 but many place will sell them for $1
You may be right

depends on the store. Usually they will give it to you for $1 each, unless they are a bunch of jerks.

Depends on the store policy. I have been to some stores where you HAVE to buy ten and others where you don't.

usually you pay more if you only buy one.the better deal would be to buy the 10 for $10 if the product is $1.50 when you buy only one.

they usually want you to buy ten items for ten buckaroos.... the item sold individually will normally cost a bit more than one dollar-at least that's what i've seen!!

Happy buying!

I shopped at Albertons and they had something like that and yes it is. They sold each for $1.

It just depends on the store.

If you buy ten for ten dollars thats what it is but if you don't buy ten you will have to a bigger price .

Usually they want you to buy ten, but sometimes not (like oodles of noodles for example)
