    I have had a co-op leaflet through the door and one so called half price deal stood out for me, can someone please tell me if anyone in there right mind would buy 10 slices of Tulip cooked/breaded ham for £6?!

    It's now half price at £3, but full price £6? Really?

    I have bought this ham for years and really like it. It comes out frequently on "promotion" at £3... and I can honestly say that in all the time I have shopped in the Co-op, I've never once seen it for sale at the "full" value of £6.

    When a company advertises something as being "On Sale", am I right in thinking that it does indeed have to be sold for full price for X-amount of time? I am imagining 2 lonesome packets sitting in a small branch somewhere for 2 weeks just to fulfill the criteria in order to offer it up as a promotional price at £3 :cool:

    i thought this and asked my spy in co-op and they said that they have never seen it on sale for 6.00 but has sold lots for £3.00 but agreed with me its a rip off they presented me with my daily reduced bargins or meat at half price or more and i had some fresh pizzas with %75 off
