Reduced for quick sale. Some Bargain!

[5129frederick]

I was browsing through the "Reduced for quick sale" shelf at Sainsburys when I was in fits of laughter.  Among the items "going cheap" was a bottle of berer. "Normal price £2.00 - reduced for quick sale - £1.99"  WOW!    ROTF!!!

Was in that supemarket yesterday

Mincemeat jars reduced to 5p - grabbed a couple.  

I'll need the jars when i make jam/chutney/pickle/marmalade later in the year.  Made the marmalade a couple of weeks ago!

I remember WH Smith having a special Christmas offer, two £5.99 books for only £12.

On the other hand, in a different supermarket last month I spotted packets of cereal that are £1.59 each marked "Buy three for £3.00".

Now, I thought that might be an error and that it should have said two instead of three but I knew they'd get eaten anyway so I bought three of each.

Lo and behold, when I saw what rang up at the checkout it was indeed three for £3.00, meaning it was cheaper to buy three than it was to buy two.

I was buying tinned tomatoes in Sainsbury's the other day - a pack of 4 was £2, but a pack of 4 with one missing was reduced to......£1.99  !  Unable to resist a bargain, I bought a pack of 4 at £2.  (Singles were £1 each)

It's the same as a four-pack of lager - if there's one missing you will invariably pay the cost of three cans of lager.  You gain nothing.  It's a con.
