Dillons: Yakisoba price

[CW&M Mom]

anyone know the price this week at Dillons???

I'm debating whether to get it at Dillons or Wallyworld...which has it for 54 cents. I have to pay tax pre coupon...so It might make more sense to just go get it at the wallyworld unless I wanna drive to joplin.

I got these yesterday and they were $5/5. The end date 10/19 I think

Now I need a math wizard to figure out the tax LOL

Math whiz here. Assuming your tax rate is the same as mine: 8.55% (you must be in Kansas too)

Dillons: $1.00, w tax $1.0855 - $1 = $0.0855 each
Wal Mart $0.54, w tax $0.586 - $0.50 = $0.086 each

Makes no difference. Not worth driving to Joplin unless you're planning to buy like 100 of them. Then you'd save yourself $8.50 on the sales tax.

thank you math wizard !

Yup I'm in Kansas. So now the decision is whether to enjoy going to walmart...only buy Yakisoba and watch as everyone gawks at my OOP....LOL! or wait till Saturday when I'm going to be in Pittsburg and get it at Dillons.

Decisions decisions....

I am in KS as well but we are not taxed on store coupons. Dillon's doubling part is not taxed. Am not sure if it is the same in your area. Here is the calculation:


Dillons: $1.00 - $.50 (non-taxable doubling part) = $.50 x 1.063 tax = $0.53 - $.50 = $.03each
Wal Mart $0.54, w/ tax $0.57- $0.50 = $0.07 each

Interesting...what part of Kansas are you in?

Wow, I stand corrected. I went back and crunched the numbers, and yes, I was charged tax on only the manufacturer's coupons value, not the doubling.

So here it is again:
Dillons: $1 - $0.50 (doubling), plus sales tax = $0.542 - $0.50 = $0.042 each
Wal Mart: $0.54 + tax = $0.586 - $0.50 = $0.086 each

Buy them at Dillons!!! Works because the effective price at Dillon's is $0.50, 4 cents cheaper.

Sales tax figuring and laws are state wide, and she's right! Reps to you!
