WORST OFFER EVER

[Canyoudigit]

Received an email today from a company flogging aftershaves, one offer that took my eye was the massive discount on Paco rabanne mini sets.
Was £50 now £49.90
Anyone seen any offers worse than this ?

At least you're saving money.

For me the worst "offers" were always Buy 2 get 1 Free.

So, in order to get 3 items for the price of 2, I have to buy twice as many as I actually need in the first place.

The only way this saves any money in the first place is if you happen to have a friend who also wants the same item, pays for one of the two items and then you flip a coin or split the 3rd free item (if possible.)

The most blatant upsell you'll ever see, and millions fall for it.

I was offered a good kicking once which I thought was a pretty poor offer and declined to take.

Unless it’s something you can stockpile, like shampoo or condoms.

Morrisson's a few years back.... Big yellow sticker saying "Was £6 Now £7 You save £-1"... manager nearly had a coronary when I pointed it out

I was once offered 8 legs of Venison for £60, which I thought that was two deer.

Very good, but works better verbally, not so good written down

Interesting binary choices, Atypical….

Or consume quickly like biscuits or ice-cream. Or socks.

In Tesco's the Kenco coffee refillable packet is more expensive £/g than the equivalent glass jars. It really annoys me as they are charging you more fore trying to be environmentally friendly.

I'm bald and married so none of those would be of any use to me, even if Mrs WG wasn't on the pill!

Sainsbury's near me has yellow reduced stickers on fruit juice from regular price £4 to £3.69 - while the sticker on the edge of the shelf has the regular price on offer at £3
