    If they got it for £3 then no they were not scammed but Im talking about all the people that don't know the original price and that the price has been put up.

    I just dont think its fair that people think they are getting a bargain when they are clearly not, asda obviously put the price up to coincide with their booklet.

    Its only my opinion that its unfair and that is why new regulations are coming into place to stop this exact type of thing.
    How are they putting the price up on the goods when you say it is on offer at £6 anyway? !!!!!!! clueless

    Its all just part of savvy shopping isn't it?

    Learn your prices
    Don't be drawn in by offers
    Check that Extra Large packs are really cheaper than several individual packs because more often that not, they aren't
    Multi buys are rarely good deals

    etc etc
    Morrisons buy one get two free offer at the moment is a case in point. Can of pringles in most places are £1, their price has gone up to £1.99 so really its more a buy one get one free than two.

    Looking online Asda are still selling this product the cheapest at the moment even without the voucher to save money on it. It seems a special offer ended, that's all.

    Vile food...cheap products full of crap to draw the masses in
    with one special offer i.e tin of choccies for £4 ...gets you in to spend on crap you dont need
    I refer to my byline below ...

    Ad hominem
    An attack upon an opponent in order to discredit their arguement or opinion. Ad hominems are used by immature and/or unintelligent people because they are unable to counter their opponent using logic and intelligence.
