How I Bought General Snus for $0.93 a Pack

The price of snus has gone up a lot in the past few years. Taxes, input costs, and profit margins have all seemed to move up. Lately I’ve found a way to crush these trends.

Here’s how I do it:

1) Go to the General Snus site — if you haven’t yet — and register for the General”s Club. You’ll begin to get shitloads of coupons — and possibly this — in the mail. Hold on to these.

2) On that site, see where they are selling in your area right now. If any place looks new, go there. I’ve noticed many new stores getting General recently, and stores get their first several rolls of snus for free. So some sell it for next to nothing at an “introductory price” — the cheapest I’ve found so far is $2.43.

3) Combine those 2 things like a boss. With my $7.50 off coupon, I bought 5 packs of General snus for $4.65, or $0.93 a pack.

What’s even more common is the $2.50 off one can coupon, but I’m not sure how that would work with a $2.43 price point, and I’m more than happy paying $0.93 and saving the $2.50 coupon for the eventual price hike. But you could conceivably get snus for free, and might even be able to convince a particularly stupid salesperson to hand you back seven cents.
