"Asda had an offer on biscuits once. 45p per pack or 2 for £1 Maths help needed? Someone obviously forgot to put up the single pack price " Maybe. However, if you look carefully, you'll loads of instances of this. It's supermarkets playing on "instinct" which is usually wrong. The most obvious being "it's cheaper to buy bigger packets". Actually, don't blame the supermarkets, blame the customers A few years ago, when our lad was learning his numbers, we were at the supermarket, getting our cereal, and he saw a lady buying a 48-pack of Weetabix. However there was a special offer on the 24s which made it *much* cheaper to buy 2x24 than 1x48. He politely (and excitedly) pointed this out to her. She looked puzzled, and then said, rather abruptly: "But I want 48" and walked off. I ended up explaining that thanks to people like her, we could have our shopping cheaper | |||

"Asda had an offer on biscuits once. 45p per pack or 2 for £1 " A popular market stall in town near me often sells strawberries £1.50 each or 3 for £5 with a guy shouting it. And folk scramble to buy 3 Supermarket (1 of big 4) often do a 2 for £x deals where the deal is cheaper than buying a single item and you see loads of people only buying 1 | |||

"Asda had an offer on biscuits once. 45p per pack or 2 for £1 Maths help needed? Someone obviously forgot to put up the single pack price " Or maybe not. I've seen this done with cheese. They offer a "special" double pack price that works out about £1.50 more than two single packs. When I challenged a member of staff I got told it's up to the consumer to find the best buys | |||

"I make a list and go and get what's on the list. If it's BOGOF I will pick up the extra item if it will be used. I once bought a sack of spuds and the cashier said they were BOGOF and I replied I can only eat so many potatoes. She said but they're free If it's buy two and save 50p I rarely buy. It only means you'll end up spending more at the till and you haven't saved anything at all. " If we see a BOGOF and only need one, we'll put the free one in the food bank on the way out. | |||

If they genuinely wanted to save you money they would lower the prices - and not just for special offers or sales. | |||

"It's all a scam. You want cheap supermarket shopping - go to the likes of Aldi or Lidl. Tesco's have just posted a massive drop in their profits again this year. People are flocking to the cut price supermarkets.. It used to be that when I shopped in Aldi mid week after work it was quiet - but it's really busy now and Saturday can be bedlam with all the parking spaces full and trolleys hard to find. People are beginning to turn away from the big three/four." I agree with this, apart from Dog Food and my laundry stuff I ship in both Lidl and Aldi, I would recommend them. | |||

But I use their non-bio liquid tabs and they are just fine! They have really improved the quality of their goods. You can even buy venison steaks there. And the fresh Angus beef burgers are delicious! | |||
