The sale price for candy at walgreens is 4 for $5 after rebate ($1.25 ea) with a $1.50/3 coupon, wouldn't that make them .88 a piece instead of .75 since you have to buy 4 to get the deal? I can see how the three are .75 but the fourth one is still a $1.25, why do you not divide the total price by all four since in order to get the rebate you have to buy 4?

It's an automatic computer calculation based on what you would get the 1st 3 for.

Ie.  each one costs $1.25 (4/$5)

Take $0.50 of ea of the 1st 3 and they = $0.75 ea while techically the 4th would be $1.25.  The average would be $0.87.

Does that make sense?
