Cheap sale cheap sale! $5 for 1, buy 3 is only $15.99 !!!! ???

Sometimes I'm really confused with the pricing strategy by some retailers.... often i found products on sale in hypermarket which is actually more expensive if you buy the "promotion pack" which is infact the bigger pack. Example I found this promotion stuff selling at $15.99 for a pack of 3 ... while the non promotion single pack is only $5 !! ??? Someone failed maths?

Lets so some testing, below is a promotion of balance transfer by public bank. Assuming upfront fees is only main concern. We have NO concern about time, cash flow and minimum transfer amount. Based on below's package, which one would you choose?
