Bokk for £1.00 when buying The Sun - W H Smiths

I would class this as a grabbit, apologies if not.

Buy the Sun newspaper (certainly wouldn't normally buy it) and get the Martina Cole book - The Business for £1.00, retails at £7.99. The cheapest I have seen it anywhere else is just under £4.00, so quite a good deal.

    I'd rather pay full price for the book, especially today.

    Here we go again!! This is a money saving site, if you like the deal buy the paper if you don't buy your usual paper. There is nothing shocking in today's Sun the web is full of it anyway, millions buy it and it's the bestselling paper so let's just focus on deals and moneysaving!!

    Well said. As I said, I did not buy it for the paper, as it happens the only page I have looked at is the crossword page. For the record, I never ever buy a newspaper, as there is never any 'news' in them.

    I wanted the book, that was the offer, end of story.

    Get a grip. I suppose you were one of the 850 who called up to whine. Why should the '[STRIKE]Jobless[/STRIKE]' 'Royals' get a right not have the pictures printed. They should not have the ability to control the press. But sadly money talks.

    You would think a place like Liverpool would be a homeland for a redtop like the Sun, but it's not a best seller in this area. After the lies they printed on the front page after Hillsborough, no matter how many of these offers they've used in the last 20yrs in an attempt to buy back readers they've failed.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Thanks, OP. Let's not get into the rights and wrongs - it's a good deal, and you can always give the paper to the kids to colour in....or draw clothes on where needed;)
