Today's Bargain?
« on: November 09, 2018, 17:56 »
My grandson needed new sweatshirts for school - one destroyed, one lost this week!
So I had a look on the Asda website.
A single sweatshirt is £2.
Or, if you prefer, you can buy a double pack for £8  :lol: :lol: :lol:

No guesses which I ordered. Gave me a laugh anyway!

Lol, how silly, in Asda once I was buying a pack of 4 tins of chopped tomatoes, for  something like £2 , then at the end of the aisle there was a stand that said something like 1 pack £2 or 3 packs £3, I had to ask a sales assistant if I was reading it correctly. I filled the trolley

 At Tesco tonight a damaged advent calendar was for sale on the bargain shelf at the reduced price of £1.50 while just down the aisle was a full shelf of pristine ones for £1 each......

What a bargain, its made me laugh as well  :D 

I bought a top in asda a week or so ago, for £10 to wear around the house, it didn't fit anywhere.  Took it back 3 days later, but had lost the receipt.  Got £5 back as they are now reduced  ::)  Mrs Bouquet

Fortunately we are all different mrs bouquet.
I find asda tops fit very well, and am wearing a shirt now under my more expensive jumper!

The school T shirts and sweatshirts fit my grandsons much better than the posh logo ones from the school uniform shop so they have one of those for the school photo  :lol: Fortunately they can wear either.

I normally don't have a problem with Asda sizing, but this particular one just wasn't right - maybe that's why they were reduced  :D
It is brilliant for people who have to buy childrens school clothes, especially when they grow so quickly.  I remember having to start in my school coat in September at least 2 sizes to big, and nearly dragging on the floor,  Oh, you'll grow into it.    :(  Mrs Bouquet

There do seem to be some real anomalies around with pricing! We found toothpaste at £2.25  tube, or two tubes for £5.... hmmmmmmm

Quite often it seems larger packs offer lesser value, rather than the other way around and so I always try to check the cost per gm or kg to see which to buy. You'd be amazed at the variation in the price of a single, own-brand toilet roll in Asda  :lol: :lol:

I'm also wary of the pricing of items especially if it's a BOGOF or two for the price of one, and if it's food I always check the expiry dates to make sure I don't have to use them all within a few days.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I once tried to help an old dear who seemed to be dithering over the decision about which shampoo to buy.
I pointed out that, weirdly, the larger size of the brand she seemed to want was actually marked up at a lower price than the one she eventually picked up.
"Thank you dear," she said, "but I only want a small bottle."

My head is often in a permanent spin calculating which offers actually are the best value. but these days I keep any advice strictly to myself!  ::)
