Supermarket BOGOFs

If I find a BOGOF at my local supermarket that I think represents genuine value, I am now deliberately purchasing it so that I can give the other one away to family, friends and neighbours ... Does anybody else do this?
Some days I wake up Grumpy ... Other days I let him lie in.

    Yes Jaqui...but don't give it away. You make them lazy and dependent.

    I can see your point, and if I ever feel they are just taking and taking without giving anything in return, im afraid it will be going to the local Homeless Charity instead ... I can be very tough in that way, as selfishness is the one thing I hate the most!!

    Why don't you just use it, store it for later or freeze it just like everybody else does .... it's a green and moneysaving approach which allows you to put the money saved in the poppy tin, a much more deserving and ethical cause than most ....
