This. Give it a few weeks and it'll be back on sale.

agreed on cyclical sales but I’m unsure when our favorites will be on sale again - I only shop at one major supermarket (Safeway - Albertsons) in sf. Only other shops I visit are pseudo-gourmet grocers (our equivalent of Napili Market and a store that would complement Dominique Ansel) and my hyper-local cornershop.
first had Magnum in Spain in 1986. I also love Moevenpick of Germany although I love almost all ice creams in Germany, especially Italeis (gelato).
I’m pretty certain that all ice creams have high calorie counts which explains why they’re so tasty :-)
Pay attention to the Safeway sales. It may be helpful to save 4-6 weeks' worth of sale circulars and compare those so you learn the cycle of each item you buy frequently. Then, you simply need to buy enough to last you from one sale to another. So, if you go through 10 pounds of chicken in a month, and it is on sale each month, then you'll want to buy 10-12 pounds of chicken each time it is on sale. Always label things with dates of when they enter your freezer, so you follow first in first out. Otherwise, things will get lost in the freezer and/or you'll pull from the newest first by accident.
