"I&amp;#039;m no Howie Mandel. But I do often find myself asking, &amp;quot;Deal or No Deal?&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s because things aren&amp;#039;t always what they seem. Sometimes what looks like a good deal isn&amp;#039;t ... and sometimes what doesn&amp;#039;t look so great turns out to be a really good deal. So I decided to write about some of those &amp;quot;Deal Makers&amp;quot; and/or &amp;quot;Deal Breakers.&amp;quot; This is the first - and I&amp;#039;d love to hear what you think. Compare ... Carefully Thought I was so, so smart when I spotted Dunkin Donuts coffee on sale at Target. Rushed right over and bought six bags for $5.99 each instead of $8.99. Then, two days later when I was in the area again, bought another six bags. But when I went to put all the bags away, I noticed the new ones were red, not brown like the bag from Dunkin Donuts. Hmm. A closer look showed the Target bags had only 12oz. - but the Dunkin Donuts brown bag had 16 oz.  Fast forward a couple of days to when I was getting an iced-coffee at Dunkin Donuts and saw coffee on sale - yup, you guessed it -- for $5.99 - for a full 16 oz pound! Without blinking, I bought twelve bags. Then I drove home, picked up the twelve bags I bought at Target and returned them. (You should have seen the expression on the customer service rep&amp;#039;s face. I was too embarrassed to say a word.)  So the moral of the story is what my mom used to say: &amp;quot;Always be sure to compare apples to apples.&amp;quot; (Or was it coffee to coffee??) Guess not comparing carefully qualifies as a Deal Breaker! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
