Did you know that you don't have to buy the quantity indicated to get these great deals?  For example, Bunches of cilantro are advertised at 10 for $10.00.  It's very unlikely that you will want, need or use 10 bunches of cilantro before they would go bad.  But don't worry, you can simply buy as many bunches of cilantro as you want at $1.00 each.

To calculate the cost per item, simply divide the advertised price by the quantity indicated in the deal.  An item listed as "2 for $5.00," for example, is really $2.50 each ($5.00 divided by 2).  Buying, and stocking up on sale items is a great way to save money.  But only buy what you can use, store or freeze before it will go bad.  Otherwise, you are just trowing money away.
