Yeah, I do too, happy with half price.


They are not half price! It's the price you would pay in other outlets
that are not the major supermarkets.

Recently the supermarkets were selling branded coffee on a BOGOF for
around £5 for two jars of coffee. The exact same coffee was on sale in
pound stretcher and freezer type shops for £1.99 to £2.50 a jar.

Fresh fruit and vegetables sold in major supermarkets with BOGOF offers
is usually under half that price in places like Aldi/Lidl and quarter of
that price at a local market.

I recently went into a Sainsbury store where grapes were £1.75 per box
or 2 for £3. At the end of the isle the exact same grapes, same box
size, were in a "value pack" at £1 !
