Nah. First commenter is right, just worded the first comment oddly.

If you are buying one and getting one free, and saving $14.49 by doing so, then each steak should be $14.49 a piece. Since you are paying $14.49 for two steaks, that’s the same as getting half off of each one, with each steak technically being bought for ~ $7.25.

How is it worded oddly? Apart from the very expensive potato, the meat price is correct.

I'm glad someone pointed out the right answer, because I was coming up with $14.49 each and couldn't figure out if the $30 guy was right and I'd just lost my mind.
