Hot Deal on Fancy-ish Ice Cream

A chain supermarket in NYC (and not your usual discounter like Key Foods or C-Town) was selling Haagen Dazs 'pints' this week 2 for $3 -- as part of an unusually deal-filled sale. A vigilant tracker of supermarket circulars (and happy hoarder of icy treats), I have never seen HD priced lower than $2.50. At most Manhattan stores, including this one, they run about $5 each. The rusty lining on this silver cloud is of course that Haagen Dazs downsized its 'pints' from 16 to to 14 ounces a while back.
