The clever people don't......

Yeah but a lot of people do their shopping like after work and stuff, so they're often half rushing around, that's who the buzz words will appeal to. They basically just throw it in and don't think anything of, maybe they might realise after but most of the time they'll probably just think they got an ok deal

Yes a lot of people do their shopping rushing around but it doesn't take much time to look and suss out what is a good deal and what's not - not saying it doesn't happen, what I am saying is that clever people who don't want to chuck money down the drain - are wise to it and the scams - and can easily work out what's cheaper.

Even easier when you shop online and the prices are broken down into costs per item (in the case of toilet rolls) or weight etc for other products - makes it incredibly easy to see what is a bargain and what is not. It's really not that difficult.

I don't think it's about being clever, it's just not what is always on people's minds

With respect, it's sheer stupidity to just buy something because it's got a certain sticker on it and you (ie: the consumer) are happy to take the supermarket's word on it - that's my opinion - and if anyone wants to give away their money for nothing, that's the way to do it.

Short of nipping into a supermarket for a one off such as a cooked chicken / pair of tights ..... I always order online and get it delivered, and as I said earlier; it makes it so incredibly easy to see what's best value as the items are very clearly marked up with individual prices for bulk purchases etc....... it really isn't difficult nor anymore time consuming - given that you have a plethora of items showing on one page.

Jesus, you act as if you're some supreme being or something.

And like I said, people are sometimes in a bit of a rush so they don't have time to go adding every little thing up along the way.

And you appear to act like no one else is allowed to have any other opinion on something other than agree with your own - and that's when you start throwing around insults. - simply because someone doesn't agree with you 100%.

I speak from my own experience - so that's what I'll comment on.
