Default Buy 1, Get One Free now Banned in England
This will be a shock
to family shoppers


[Price-slashing supermarket deals on junk food
will be banned from today as part of the
Government's long-delayed crackdown on obesity.

'Buy one, get one free' offers on sweets,
crisps, sugary drinks and other snacks will
be outlawed in England, alongside free refills
of fizzy drinks in restaurants and cafes.

The rules apply to supermarkets,
bigger high street shops and online retailers,
and come after years of delays amid the
cost-of-living crisis.]



[Greg Fell, president of the Association of
Public Health Directors, welcomed the move,
calling it 'long overdue' but warned it
was only a first step.

'Multi-buy promotions don't save
people money—they encourage them
to spend more. They normalise buying more,
and more often,' he said.

Research has shown such restrictions
can work.

A University of Leeds study found that after
supermarkets were banned from
placing unhealthy items at checkouts
and aisle ends in 2022,
sales dropped by around two million
products a day.]

It's bloody ridiculous. My shopping for myself and kids (fri-sun) is now usually around 120 a week. I don't remember wether it shot up or if it's crept up over time but when I first moved here and had the kids all week I only used to spend 60-70
