I have been living off-campus since the beginning of the second year, and Safeway has been one of the easiest way to get grocery and other home needs. Until I started taking COMM296 this summer, I have never really been paying attention to promotions in Safeway. Safeway usually provides discounts for the club members, and they inform it with special yellow price tag. If, for example, it says that two bag of lays chips are $4 I would just buy two different flavours of lays chips without even looking at the orignal price, because I am already thinking that it must be really cheaper compared to the original price. I have been doing this for almost a year, but yesterday I was a little bit surprised. I am not sure if it was just for yesterday or this particular item, but the yellow price tag was saying that with the club card, if I buy one it’s $2.10, and if I buy two it’s $4.00. I am not sure if I was expecting too much but giving the discount of 20cents and trying to make it such a big deal did not seem very nice to me. It’s such a shame that I forgot to take a photo of it. I am still happy with the fact that I actually learned from it and from now on, I will be paying more attention to those promotions.
