Bargainous! lol

I don't mind at all..the more the merrier. I'm still a bit surprised they are allowed to get away with things like this. I wonder how many people just see the red tag and think its a better deal without actually looking at it more closely.

What's worse to think about is how many times have we been fooled by this already and made the purchase.

We don't see toooo much of this over here yet, but it is starting to creep in a bit. What they do here is put the price up pretty regularly, and then put the item 'on offer' so - a pack of fish will start at €3.99 - then 'go up' to €5.99 - but between those prices, they'll have it 'on offer' at €4.99 - in big red stickers, so people get all excited thinking it's cheap (because they've forgotten it was €3.99 the week before)! Then, they ease them into the whole €5.99 thing much easier!

We also have the twin pack of shampoo problem here - say a twin pack of Pantene, or Tresemme, which is normally about €5.99 - well, they do a 'Buy One Get One Free' offer - so you think - ooh good, and grab two twin packs, to get to the counter and be told - ah no, it's just the other bottle in the twin pack is your freebie!
