Not as good as the Starbucks method, but decent deal.

Why couscous?
Why don't I just steal a bike from Target?
For  2 bags of couscous worth $2.29 each, I should steal?
What are you thinking OP?
But you can use it to steal more food. Teach a guy to steal....

Curious, do you see this any differently than buying a multi-pack of something on Amazon when you know they'll only ship one?

1. I meant that tongue in cheek
2. I don't condone that at all. Buying something that you know will be one of an item and then calling them up saying you were expecting 10 and only got one is a total lie and using that to now get them to give you money is at the very least dishonest and gnievas daas. Very possibly actual stealing.


ETA: I know that there are many here who do not agree with this assessment. Note that I was not the one who brought this up but rather was answering a question addressed to me.

Without getting into the actual issue, I was just wondering why this post in particular got that reaction.

Personally, I was only replying to others. I read this as a JS thread.

I just now realized this isn't in JS.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Is it ethical?

I was waiting for someone to say this. This is the other half on what ddf is all about. Good deals and then some Jewish guilt.

Oh, btw full disclosure: I have not ordered any, nor do I plan to. HT to @shmelive , who found this accidentally. No, I don't think this is ethical, but yes, I do think this is quite an opportunity
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

@JuryDuty, we appreciate your disclosure and we hope the jury finds you not guilty.

Good Shabbos, all. I'm going to have soup with couscous instead of croutons.  :'(
