And instead of "Buy One Get One Free" offers, why can't they just sell those lines at half price? It drives me maaaaaaad, speshly when I only want *one* of the items. Recently at my local Morry Bongos they had Muller Corner yoghurts on at £2.18 for a pack of six or 2 packs for £2.00!! People were buying them and giving the other pack away it didn't half confuse the checkout operators when people were going through saying "Oh no, I haven't bought this my friend/mother/a stranger gave it to me!!

Because reducing the price would hit their profits. A BOGOF on the other hand they can blackmail the supplier into funding. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Cheers John Well when I get a new eyboard things will be fine, until then Im afraid the ey's remain naced. This hammer comes in handy. :-) Your keyboard does need changing. Before you seemed to have a problem with the letter 'm' now it appears to be the letter 'k'! P.S. I am presuming "naced" should read KNACKERED, if so you also starting to have a problem with "e" and "r" So I suggest you stop typing words endind in 'ker' like ....I am sure you will work it out!. Cheers John |

Tesco had a similar offer on some cereal recently. The best ones I have had are products reduced because they are near their sell buy date. If the BOGOF or special offer isn't cancelled then the discount is applied at the full rate and you can end up being paid to take them away. MBQ |
