    I'm assuming that's sarcasm, Eileen. But I shall answer with my thoughts nonetheless - people in my area must be either a) keen on a quid per box price or b) have coupons, like me. It's certainly not me buying them all (obviously).

    sarcasm? No way.In my local Tesco`s there must be 10`s and 10`s of them.I have my 4 boxes and are very happy with them.
    I can`t understand people grabbing loads because they are free...Is that right?

    You seem to think that anyone who buys more than you have is at fault. Why did you buy 4 boxes? Why not just one or maybe two? Who's to say that your policy of 4 is right or wrong?

    Can you honestly say you'd have bought them if they weren't free? I know I wouldn't have but they're worth a try.

    I can't see a problem with trying to buy the quantities mentioned in this thread. If you've got the balls to wander to the check out with a stacked trolley they'll either say yes or no.

    Thank you! There's some real holier-than-thou types on here and it could be frustrating if I didn't care about posting the numbers of products in my haul. I'd never question anyone else - even the guy with 130 boxes - what if they have serious issues with family or friends we're not aware of? What if they work for a youth group? What if they volunteer at a homeless charity?

    It has absolutely nothing to do with me what other people buy. Good on them.

    I am not a greedy person fgs I got 4 boxes,and who has BOUGHT any?
    Free blackberries are calling......

    We've all bought them. Coupons are as good as cash for supermarkets. What's so hard to understand? A £1 coupon off the right product is as good as handing over a £1 coin. It's just a little extra work for the supermarket to get their pound.

    I've been to several tonight. To give you an example of why I multi-buy when these offers are on (well done Robin hood btw) :

    My children (I have 5) have eaten 4 boxes of these since the glitch started. I have a few more stock but have 50 vouchers printed off. I will no hesitate in buying them.

    The reason all the supermarkets are running low is because they have a cereal that's usually on a single facing, now only £1. In all 4 stores I went to, the shelves were empty of all of the £1 cereal.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.
