A nice line of red on the competitor sides!:D:T

It's been suggested 30 would be better price per pot, and that may be so. However - it's like that glitch the other day on other items - you can buy extra, such as here, but then, here, you would be buying more than twice as much in order to save about 3p per pot - is it really worth doing that? You would, albeit obtaining more, also be spending more money in total (even if it was technically slightly cheaper per pot). So it's like a normal mbuy - having to buy more in order to make a 'saving'. Except that normal mbuys usually have their individual prices inflated so that you are not making any saving. I think I can put it like that:D:(. I can now say that normal mbuys are like that - there may be the odd exceptions that aren't but, judging by what I found (or we together on this thread have, over time, found) - mbuys are it seems generally more expensive or the same price as a previous straight price offer.

What we need is local mbuy buying cooperatives :T

30 mullers across 3 households wouldn't be unreasonable.

Could recruit them in the chiller aisle :j

I opened the Marksies one today and I'm really disappointed. It's lacking alcohol and is too cloying. It tastes very cheap:o

30 do take up premium fridge space in the lead up to Christmas too ... :eek:
Though 20 only means 2 outside the multi on the comparison so may be a compromise?

I thought that in M yesterday in fact:rotfl:. Saw a customer picking up one Cream Aerosol at full price £1.10:eek:. That's all they had in their basket. I felt like saying, I'll pay you 50p to buy one for me along with that!

They are on 2 for £1.60. In fact I wouldn't have minded one, in effect, at 50p. The guy would not have lost anything at all. Indeed, I'd even have been willing to pay 80p for one, as I only really wanted one but would not be buying two ever! I didn't approach the other customer of course. Perhaps I should - though maybe it was also more difficult for me as I often find it easy to keep quiet and never to go up to anyone and talk to them (perhaps something to do with my Asperger's: maybe everyone, to some extent, would find it hard to go up to a perfect strangers and talk to them, however it's more difficult, me finding the words to say, in spoken communication - I think there must be something whereby I can think and write at the same time, very easily, and that's in cognitive alignment with each other - do you like that?:D - I just invented a concept of cognitive alignment:rotfl: - but, definitely, I normally have to think when I am talking to someone - unless it just comes out exactly what I am thinking - as it seems I need to think about what I'm saying as I do so but can't do that whilst I'm talking (brain can't handle both at the same time) so have to think it all in advance and then try and remember it word-for-word: it doesn't work if someone comes up with a reply - I then need to have ages to think, in total silence, what to say and then, after ages of silence have passed (does not happen!) to say it).

People expect you to talk and continue a conversation but what I always need is time to think what to say: and the reaction of people not in the know is to interrupt whilst I'm thinking and then ask me for example what I want to say (or else they have their own point out:() - all this does, since I'm now having to deal with responding to them but haven't thought what to say, is to cause my thinking (about what to say) process to start from scratch, thus delaying any response from me at all even further. Then they interrupt when I haven't finished thinking... and I have to start again. Then they are waiting and I haven't spoken, so they speak... I need time to think, this just resets me right to the beginning again and then takes longer to think.

Anyway, I didn't go and speak to the other customer (who just picked up one aerosol) so I ended up buying none at all. And I would never buy two - but wouldn't buy one at £1.10. I could even have paid him 80p if he was reluctant, to get me the second one, and, with my 80p given to him, he would have spent less than what he has done!

However, perhaps (or maybe probably?) it would not have worked: I'd have been considered to be strange, as it's "not the done thing". Especially as I can never find the exact right words to say in oral communication.

Maybe the customer would have thought there was something strange about me asking, some trick somewhere (especially with my inevitable unintended lack of eye contact or 'strange' eye contact) and therefore would have refused. Even though it would have been a very good deal that actually sees him with 30p more in his pocket and the same single can of cream he wanted.

Here's what can happen when you do the right thing sometimes though (:eek: about the woman's 'shocking' reply*):
http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/06/man-tries-to-return-womans-dropped-money-gets-rebuffed-buys-himself-lunch-5548409/

*It should be shocking. However, unfortunately(?), it does not cause me any actual real emotional physical shock at reading the reply on the page - and therefore it is not shocking (at least not to me, on this occasion).
