Kroger uses their “Buy 5 or more” and save but you can never get that deal on meat, poultry and fish.
That’s my beef with Safeway too — a Kroger store. Their specials require you to buy three or four or five identical items. And, as you say, they never offer such specials on fresh meat and produce.
Those specials are about the only time I buy chips and such. Regular prices have been ridiculous for a long time.
Odd.
