    Whey not do your shopping online?


    You can do all the maths in the comfort of your own home, much less stressful than standing in the shop trying to do it, and getting in everybody's way.


    I wait until my Sainsbury's order is over £100 so I can get free delivery after 2pm Monday to Thursday.

    OK we see this come up hundreds of time. I'm going to put an idea to people. If you so strongly believe in this why don't you open the worlds first ever no promotions Supermarket, surely if what you're sayings right you'll soon become the richest person in the world! They simply don't exist not even Aldi or Lidl, see this link for an example http://catalog.aldi.com/emag/en_GB/print/Week29UKLeaflet/ then click fresh offers.

    I'm not going to do it because I know it won't work but for the people who don't like promotions why don't you try? This time next year you could be a billionaire ;)

    But yet both Aldi & Lidl seem to class their promotions as important. Did you know one of the very few things Aldi require their mystery shoppers to do is check their promotions are displayed?

    The reason why is Aldi & Lidl are almost exactly the same thing, so how do they compete with each other? Answer - promotions!

    Seems to go to show what I was saying. There is no such thing as a promotion free Supermarket so why doesn't someone who hates promotions that much have a go!

    See above, it's a pack of 4 for £5 or 2 packs of 2 for £6.

    .

    Yes sorry I misread it.

    Perhaps you mis-typed? There's doubt?
    I'd go and edit your first post, as at the moment you don't look very financially intelligent. :p

    Just re-read. Nope. Didn't mistype.
