Buy 2 get 1 free... or alternatively buy 1 and get ripped off. That's what it sounds like to me! Come on, why can't we just have a third off, so if you want to buy 1, 2 or 3 you get the same deal?

| 10-2-2010 | John, left to me, I can honestly tell you all four chicken breasts would go down in one meal with me, along with the normal trimmings. | Gainsborough lad. |
| 10-2-2010 | single people who moan about BOGOF offers. what is their problem! I think it is fantastic that food is now so cheap, much better than when I was a child. So you have to buy 4 chicken breasts for the price of 2. Guess what, thats the same has having 2 free meals. How fabulous is that. I think th...more | John |
| 02-1-2010 | Same with Debenhams. Bought a dress for 17.50 with a big sticker on the label saying 'reduced to half price'. When I peeled off the five or six price labels, I noticed the original price was 30 pounds. They had increased the price to 35 pounds for a couple of days to allow the 'half ...more | fedupinwales |
| 22-12-2009 | I had this argument in Asda recently. Fairy non-bio gel has been £3.90 in there since it's release date 18months ago. Then in October this year it went to Buy 2 for £7.00. Which in itself was good, but, they claimed a saving of £2.76 on the regular price of £4.88 each. It ha...more | Freddie |
| 14-12-2009 | Another way that they con customers is with “reductions” where they quote an original price that only has to have been the price that was charged in just one branch for 28 days.
That the branch was on Orkney and no one with any sense actually bought the product at the artificially ...more | Smithy |
| 14-12-2009 | Some interesting comments folks and good to see some (but not all!) persuaded. As someone said you have a choice but I think it's a pretty rubbish choice - in my local shop tonight every item of fresh meat was on a multisave so not much choice there. But I can still buy 1? At 1 for £3.5...more | Craig Watson |
| 06-12-2009 | You've got to be careful even if you have assessed the deal and seen that it can, in fact, benefit you.
My local supermarket often has a pack of 4 yoghurts on a "buy 2 for £3" deal. However, the yoghurts are also sold as an 8-pack. The 8-pack is £2.96! It may just be 4p, bu...more | Mad Vicki |
| 01-12-2009 | The most unbelievable deal that I ever came across was on new waterside apartments that were not selling very quickly, and a ginormous sign was put up outside to let everyone know, if they bought one, they would receive a free car. Needless to say, some people were drawn in by this, as there were ...more | Magz |
| 30-11-2009 | Kit, you're missing the point. Supermarkets effectively blackmail companies in supplying BOGOF offers. They don't say to companies we're keeping the same stock but we're going to lose our profit by selling it half price, they say can you give us twice the stock for the same money so...more | Shop Elsewhere |
| 29-11-2009 | The shops dont always make a profit on buy one get one frees, sometimes they can just break even or maybe even lose a few pence, a lot of the time these deals are only there to get people through the doors, so while theyre in there they will buy something else too. | Stop ya whingin! |
| 26-11-2009 | In Euroland they're offering buy £1 and get £1 free. Britain is being sold buy one and get one free. It's all lies, lies, damn lies and crooked dealing. The mafia has taken over the country. Soon it will be import 1 immigrant and get 1,000 free. MPs are sold to us as buy 1 governm...more | Absurdistani |
| 26-11-2009 | Shop Elsewhere,
You are missing the point. What many of us are irritated about is that if a product costs say £2.00 and a shop is offering "buy one get one free" for the same price, they are still making a healthy profit on £2.00 for 2 so how much profit were they making at t...more | Kit |
