Went to another Kroger. Same deal. Miller/Coors is $21.99 per case. Miller/Coors was somewhat picked through. Bud products were basically fully stocked.

Having to fill out a rebate today is asinine.   Scan the product bar code and the customer pays $10 less and the store gets it from the manufacturer.

2 reasons.

First, the vast majority of people never bother sending them in. Scanning it at the register ensures 100% redemption rate, which is asinine for the company.

Secondly, mfg rebates don't "scan through" Nielsen and other share tracking outfits. So claims like "America's #1 Beer" (I'm making it up, but crap like that) must be supported by point of sale data that says they are the $ Share leader. Mfg rebates don't count against you, but instantly redeemable coupons and sale prices DO.

So mfg rebates and "future value" promotions (buy this today, get a $5 gift card for tomorrow) are popular for these reasons.

Also state minimum liquor laws. Mail in rebates is probably a way around that.

My BIL works at the bud brewery in Houston.
I can get all the free Bud I would want.

Keyword "want"

I don't want it.

I have taken some in the past but most of the time it would just sit in the ice box and I'd go buy shiner or more recently yuengling.

This is purely an ancedote but I was up in Amarillo Texas the last three weeks. I went to Cowboys and Cadillacs one Saturday night just to decompress and people watch. I noticed NO ONE was drinking Bud Light or any Budweiser products. This is the Panhandle of Texas, Budweiser is a staple there. I grew up drinking it. They had all the Budweiser signs on the wall turned off. Yuengling banners were hung up on the walls as well. I looked around behind the bars what I could see and in the tubs they were massivly overstocked on Bud Light and Budweiser, other beers were in short supply. AB has truly screwed the pooch on this one. When you've lost us Texas Rednecks, you are pretty fucked.

Wait, cheap beer is normally $21.99 for a 24 pack?

Holy crap I'm glad I don't drink. Even $11.99 sounds expensive to me.

I pay $0.30 for a 20oz mtn dew and when it's not on sale I cringe.

I think your math is out of date on the 20oz dew bottles.

By lowering the price of their beer, advertising a case for less than $10 is also lowering the price that future customers are willing to pay for it. This will further hurt future sales. The customer is gonna look at the price now vs. in the future and balk at that price when they were getting it cheaper, although it was with a rebate. They're gonna expect that lower price and pass on it when rises back to the old price.

It’s kind of a scam anyways. It’s a manufacturer rebate so you likely need to fill out some BS form that prints out at checkout. You have to give them all your info and send it in and you’ll get your $10 back in like 6 months.

If they lost money on the sale and then seen it further expand the ongoing memes again them...they would care.  The point of giving it away cheap is to get people back to drinking it.  A meme mocking them is the opposite of that.

The point is to protect their sales numbers and hide the damage, and because it's cheaper than paying to pull and dispose of expired product. Buying with the rebate improves their position... which is why they're doing the rebate.
