*Big Y's Policy is that if an item does not ring up at the advertised price, they will give you the item free. I was in a hurry and didn't see this until I got home.

Disclosure: I was provided a gift card from Collective Bias to shop at Big Y.

What BigY do you shop at? My local store (Greenfield, MA)has stop carrying the single rolls, 4pk of single quilted rolls and the facial tissue, all the items that would be free or cheap with the free coupons that have become a regular thing.
