chad and i stopped in there to get a few things the other day, one of them being contact solution. now, you can buy the renu or opti-free or whatever you want for $8 or $9 a bottle, but i opt for target's up & up brand, which is just $2.99 for a 12oz bottle. it's good stuff. chad and i both use it. now, this particular target had only one single bottle of solution left, and a whole bunch of double packs. i know what you're thinking. chad and i both needed to get contact solution, so get the double pack...right? wrong! ONE 12oz bottle costs $2.99, and TWO 12oz bottles, packaged together, cost $7.04. so, if i buy the double pack, i'm paying $3.52 per bottle? how does that make any sense? i brought the one last single bottle up to the counter along with a double pack to explain this ridiculousness and to see if they would just ring up two singles but give me the double, since all other singles were gone and we needed 2 bottles so i didn't want to pay more because i was forced to and i didn't think that it was okay and...ahhh! come on, target! get it together! luckily, the pharmacy man was very nice to me and gave me the double pack as though i were paying for 2 singles. so...beware! something that may look like a 'value pack' may not be saving you any money at all!
