The other gripe are these "for one" offers.
I feel ripped off if I only want a normal quantity, ...


BOGOF's, nearly always on non-perishable stuff


Not her they arent. Bought a total of 6 on 3 different
offers today that are all perishable. Two for stuff for
the freezer and the other one chilled pizzas.

so just bung the "free" one in the cupboard.


I tend to stock up on things that are
on offer either BOGOF or "Buy 2 for £2".


Yeah, I do too, happy with half price.

so I just use Morrisons or Asda.


Nearest Morrisons (22 miles) was a dark and dreary place with
narrow isles with fing baskets of tat shoved down the middle
getting in the way. Went in the other month after it's rebuilding
post fire a year or so back, much improved bright airy, may have
wider isles still baskets of tat parked down 'em though.


Asda is OK but at 32 miles further than our normal Tesco which is
still 28 miles. There is a Tesco at 24 miles but that one doesn't
stock some of the products we want, like wise the Waitrose at the
same place. There is a Sainsburys at 22 miles but I'm pretty sure you
have to pay for the car park as that is council owned. You have to
pay at Waitrose as well but the free Tesco carpark is just across the
road. B-)


Distances are single, double 'em for the round trip.


I have most of them in two spots and only 2 miles between the groups.
