  • a lot of 'offers' that appear to be bargains turn out to be bogus.

    a lot of the time if you check the shelf label for the cost per gram or per item (like per roll in a pack of toilet roll for example) then the smaller packs often turn out to be better value than the bigger 'offer' packs.
  • Why do you need that much salt?
    I try to help as much as I can. But I'm also honest and speak my mind.

    Smoke free since Jan 2014 :D If you want any advice on quitting please send me a PM. :)

    if the op wants a little grumble then where's the problem with that?

    sounds like sour grapes because you asked a question to which the answer was pretty glaringly obvious.

    None of those, this is a vent forum so I am venting! Just so fed up with Stores putting special offers in prominent positions whilst their regular items are better value! This salt offer was right across the entrance, you had to walk round it and we had just had a severe frost warning here in Lincolnshire.
