    Buy as much as you can afford.  As other people have noted, if it is not sold it goes to waste.  If you can freeze it, buy it.  No problem.
  • Take one or two, and leave the rest for the more needy, UNLESS the shop is about to close!

    If you got organised with meal planning and grocery shopping, you wouldn’t be looking at ys ‘bargains’. If you have too much available space in your freezer, why did you buy a freezer that’s too big and is costing more in electricity?

    No, it's selfish. Take a few and leave some for others.

    Don't be greedy. 
  • Don`t be greedy. Leave some for somebody else.

    If you expect to use it all and there's not other customers around, buy as much as you need.
    If there's other people around looking at the reduced section I'd say taking the lot is rude though.
    Personally it doesn't arise because we have a small freezer, there's no space for mega bulk buying. Usually there's rubbish in the reduced section when I shop anyway.

    If I was going to use it, I'd buy it all.
    Depends how much there was though and how much it was reduced by too.
  • You take what you need and you leave the rest
    But you should never have taken the very best
  • I knew a man who would wait by the bread section in the supermarket for the announcement that all bread was reduced and then he would fill his trolley, so nobody else got a chance.  He and his wife thought it was funny that there were customers, who weren't quick enough, complaining, but then they were a very greedy pair.
