it says I have to buy all the ones on the shelf with the dates specified on them
If this is a juice and its checking multiple flavours then be ready to buy a lot more than 4 or even 42!0 -

I signed up to one tonight and after I signed up they told me I would need to buy 4 2 litre bottles of drink. I am concerned it may look a little strange me just buying this but don't want to buy anything else as I don't need it and would be wasting money. Does anyone have any advice for doing this and not getting caught. I'm really worried it will look suspicious
You are lucky as you can get away with saying 'having a party' excuse!
Done covert audits where I had to clear the shelves of a product that people only buy in quantities of 1 or 2 (the latter if on a multi-offer) and went through self scan to reduce the risk of being asked by chatty checkout assistants! I did have a response lined up just in case, but can't tell you what it was as it will reveal tmi for this thread.0 -
People buy weird stuff all the time. Often people with small retail places will bulk buy stuff on special from big supermarkets.
I once bought every packet of jelly available in a small Highland town (I was making trifle for 250 and the food order had been screwed up).
I had a photo snafu yesterday - thankfully I was in another shop 1/2 mile away.0 -
I had to buy baby food once in bulk
Said it was for my Grandaughter who was poorly and that was all she'd eat.....
Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0 -

Theres your answer then.
Keep it until Monday.
If it helps I'm in the same position, about to go out and do mine and will have to lug it all up to my flat as am planning a 600 mile round trip to visit my parents early next week!It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
