Every Deal in the MARTIN'S Weekly Ad

Mert Iseri

Ora reads weekly ads item by item. This is every deal in this week's MARTIN'S ad, in all seven regional versions MARTIN'S prints across Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia.

The numbers

The ad for September 18 to 24 carries 293 to 308 items, depending on the version. 320 distinct items appear across the seven versions. 277 are in every one of them, and 265 of those at the same price everywhere.

102 of the 320 items are multi-buys, nearly a third of the ad. In the Virginia version, 56 of the 96 multi-buys are 2 for a price, most often 2 for $6. The rest of the ad is single prices, 24 buy one get one, and 17 every-day prices.

Seven versions of one page

MARTIN'S prints one version for its 10 Virginia stores, one for the 8 in Maryland, three for Pennsylvania, and two for West Virginia. 43 items appear in some versions and not others. 18 of the 43 are beer and wine: each state gets its own list, and the Maryland version has none.
