    Oh for sure you would buy the pack of three then give one away!
    You would have made someone's day.

    And the box could have been taken home for recycling, I am sure it would have been easily flattened and put into MSG's handbag. (Or just use someone's green bin on the street :))

  • When we are on holiday or want an ice cream/lolly when we are out, we buy a multipack. They are cheaper and it's always nice to put a smile on someones face when we give the extras away.

    'Should I buy 3 magnums'....of Champagne was my train of thought (there's a Nationwide chain doing 3 for the price of 2). One for the Engagement, keep one for the Wedding (just for the 2 of you)......and one for whatever occasion MSE members decide....Poll below!

    Don't throw away - share the spare of give it to someone - also newleaf is right - lidl magnums are much much better - especially the white chocolate and strawberry ones.. mmm. Mind you if you were in London no doubt there was only sainsburys nearby!

    Half each? :D Could get messy though ;)

    Personally I would give one away - the price it costs for three in the supermarket would still make it cheaper, even giving one away (and you get to do something nice!)

    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?
  • Buy a box of 3 each !!! icon7.gif

    This always happens to me and my sister, but we always get a three pack eat one each and give one to the homeless man that sits around the corner.

    There are so many people selling the big issue, sitting on benches and they really do not get offended if you give it to them! So do a good deed :beer: :beer:

    p.s. or you could scoff it yourself!
    All men hear is blah, blah, blah, blah, SEX, blah, blah, blah, FOOD, blah, blah, blah, BEER:wall:
