What's a Good Price on Groceries?  The difference between
thinking you're getting a good deal, and actually getting a good
deal requires simply knowing what things cost.  For example, my
husband came home from the grocery store and said he saw a buy-
one-get-one-free deal on London Broil. It was $6.99 per pound.
Some people would see the BOGO offer and stock up, thinking that
buy-one-get-one-free is automatically a good deal. My husband
didn't buy it because he knew better. $6.99 a pound isn't a good
price for London Broil. Even $3.50 - the BOGO price - isn't that
great. For the record, I usually buy London Broil when its being
sold for under $3 a pound. I buy ground beef or boneless,
skinless chicken breasts when they're $1.99 a pound or less.  So
how do you know what things cost, so you can tell the difference
between a good deal, a great deal, and no deal at all? For
starters, know that "Special Buys!" "BOGO Deals!" and "Stock-Up
Sales!" aren't always the amazing bargains they claim to be.
