Someone can't do their maths

My sister has just sent an email to ASDA to find out just why one item costs 98p or she can buy two for 2 quid!

Do they really think the general populace are THAT thick??

    Don't you/your sister think it's a mistake rather than hoping people won't notice?

    I remember a few years ago in Tesco they were sellin energy saving lightbulbs (when they were much more expensive) for about £6.50 each or you could buy two for £5.95. Who in their right mind would say "no thanks I only want the one, I'll pay you more for the priviledge".

    Where I work, you can buy 4 small bread rolls for about £1.40, or 5 for 99p. And quite a few people only want 4!
