Not a great price but HT had a 2.99lb sale so not terrible.

 
What do you have to do to get the sale price?

Store card.  ALL the big stores here require them for the sales price. 

Jill really hates the idea but even Publix and Walmart have them here.
It seems a big city thing since I get comments from others on if they
have one or not.  They use the data to target likely products.  I'd be
a tiny byte or so of data that says 'add more fresh veggie choices'.

Walmart charges annual fee that's pretty high (BJs and Sams are
cheaper).  Most are free (Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Kroger, Fresh Mart).

Basically here you learn the sales rotation and stock up when on sale.
If your shopping habits are to only get what's on a list and think you
are 'saving' then you'd be doing it wrong here.  Common basics are what
you'd be over spending on.

Ex: (Doesn't mind if you buy this specific item, insert any staple you
want).  : canned beans (black and cannelinni for me).  I know I'll use
1 a week at least.  I know every 5 weeks they are 1/2 price.  Limit 10.
I get 5 black bean and 5 'other'.  I never pay full price.  A person
who doesn't get sales rotation, will be happy with 2 cans that week,
then pay full price the next 4 weeks....
