There's a regional grocery chain that is famous for its coupon deals.
A number of these coupon deals involve being able to obtain products for free with the purchase of other products. The weekly advertisement that comes out each Tuesday devotes an entire page to these.
A lot of the free deals are legitimately good.
Some aren't.
Below is the list of deals that they have this week.
Let's see how many people can tell the good deals from the gotchas. Note that name brands have been censored so as not to interfere with the results; I just want people looking at the items themselves.
Also note that for a few of these, you need to understand culture and cuisine in my part of the world (Central Texas) to understand which ones are bad.
*****
1. buy 1 bag frozen chicken breasts, get one bag rice & adzuki bean chips (crisps)
2. buy 1 package of bacon, get one package of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and one carton of egg whites
3. buy 1 package of lunch meat, get one package of cheese slices.
4. buy 2 packages of sausage links, get one can of chili and one box of macaroni and cheese mix
5. buy 1 bag of frozen popcorn chicken, get one bag of potato chips (crisps)
6. buy 1 tub of refrigerated shredded beef in sauce, get one container of ice cream
7. buy 1 frozen pizza, get one container of ice cream

11. buy one bottle of organic dressing, get one bottle of organic vegetables.
12. buy one box of frozen seafood, get one box of macaroni & cheese and a bottle of tartar sauce
13. buy one bag of corn chips (crisps), get one can of bean dip
14. buy 1 3-pack of baby bottles, get 1 2-pack of pacifiers free

16. buy one bottle of pain tablets, get one tube of topical pain reliever
17. buy two boxes of puffed rice cereal, get one treat mold
