This is a price variation that I noticed in this week's ads.

I should purchase a 10-pound bag of potatoes for $1.99.

Then I should take the 10-pound bag of potatoes and make two 5-pound bags.  Then I could sell the two 5-pound bags for $2.99 each.   

2 X $2.99 = $5.98
                  - $1.99
    Profit       $3.99

:'( 

I purchased a 10-pound bag of the potatoes.

I wish I had a camera to take a photo of all the deformed potatoes in the bag.  The potatoes were impossible to peal.

A deal is not always a deal.
