I dislike the £4 off £40 type cons. What happens if I don't want to spend £40? Do I have to buy a fee extra items just so I can save the £4? Surely that doesn't make sense.
It a bit like the "bugger off" type offers where you get another one of something you only wanted one of. I'd be happy to have the free one if it existed but it doesnn't. I only came in to buy one so why should I be carrying two back to the yot?.
what a Con.

At the beginning It was doing 6 of 60 etc. But we all moaned now they should be pretty much tailored to your shopping habits. I don't get them as I never spend that much. We are seeing a lot of xx amount of your shopping regardless of what you spend which is very good. You don't have to use them. When I say to a customer that you can have a another one free and they reply like You, that they don't want it. I try to encourage them to get it and give it to someone who needs it or even the first person they see outside and make their day. |

Not really, most vouchers are for less. They tried higher value eg 8 off 80, now that was hard to fill the basket. But they stopped that. Our weekly ish shop hits 40 without buying anything silly though. So it's real money to me.
I think price reduction offers can be a con though, they just sell it at a high price somewhere obscure for long enough to make a normal price look cheap.

I have never eaten a fig roll biscuit...... I don't do biscuits with additives....digestives or rich tea Yes but it's just fig filling. The joy of nibbling off the biscuit crust and revealing the figs.....Jim wipes chin.... And get a coop members card, 4% off coop own brand stuff. 1% to charity. And money off vouchers eg ,£4 off £40. Don't ever use supermarket loyalty cards. If you murder somebody and need to dismember them and get rid of the body, it's all too easy for the filth to discover you went out half an hour later and bought bin liners, kitchen knives, bleach and Marigold gloves. |

To disagree, I know that some offers are paid for by the business investing x amount. Also some and most offers such as coke cola are funded by them. They will also pay a lot of money for their product/offer to be front of store. |

Its OK for most people but you make a good point. Problem being that if you are an individual of interest (chance would be a fine thing) then you will find that even the bank notes you pull out of a cash machine will be traceable to you. The only way to pay for whore murdering covering up materials is to use Bit coin. It doesn't exist, is completely untraceable and best of all nobody knows this. |

That coke snorting knob that was in charge and sold the group up the river with the financial collapse wants his arse kicking, the dividend has been pants for age's  |

I can't remember where I read it (I read a lot of journals) but I think studies have concluded that sharing your biscuits with other people indicates some sort of unusual and rather complex psychological condition.
