"Whoopsies" - do you grab them all or leave some for someone else?

I'll usually buy what I can use and store/freeze. If there are other people around who are interested in what I'm buying I'll usually ask if they want some before I take my share...it's nice to be nice . However if no-one else is around then I'll take what I can use or freeze..

I agree - I feel bad if others are around and I take more than 1. If there is only one item and others want it, well I was there first!

If nobody is around and I know I'll use the stuff then I'd take as much as I'd use!

Everybody loves a bargain

I take what I need and what I know I will eat. admittedly if 20 packs of mince reduced yes I could store them and yes we would use them but would prob only take about 4 packets so other people had a chance of a bargain.

I take what I need, but I don't go silly with it and I don't stand and wait for the reducer person or do what someone tried to do to me once, push me out the way.

I even had someone take a reduced item out of my trolley once, but one stare of 'put it back' and she put it back in my trolley.

Take what you need, as long as it's done fairly, it's good.

It's not mean, it's saving money. If you don't take it, maybe nobody will and it'll get binned. I grab whatever I'll use/freeze and use later.

I've got a pretty small freezer, but I'd happily take everything if it was all things I'd use.

As with many others I only take what I can freeze otherwise it's a waste. But I often wish I had a bigger freezer, in that case I would definately buy all the whoopsies. Charity begins at home!
AND sometimes I am too late for whoopsies, so someone somewhere has obviously had a good whoopsie session!

It depends on what's on offer in the whoops section. Today for instance, I nipped into my local Sainsbury's and got smoked salmon and cheese on whoops. If there's meat on there, I will always try to buy some, especially if there's nice sausages (I have a thing against cheap sausages after watching the Richard Hammond programme), and will get as much as I can. After all, if you don't, someone else will!:D

I ll take all and anything that will freeze,I would not feel guilty at full price so why at whoopsie?

Same here. The more the merrier.

If it's an item I know I'll use then I'll take as many as I know I can store and use.

I'm still kicking myself for not clearing the whole shelf in Sainsburys a few months ago when they were selling boxes of 20 Tampax for 98p a box. I bought about 10 boxes, but I really, really should have cleared the shelf of the ones that I use.

I just take what I need and what I will use.

I hate the people who put their trolley over the whole fridge so no-one can get to it until they're done. Grrrrrrr
