WORST OFFER EVER

[Andy_W]

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 ?

See worse every day in tesco, offers which are not actually offers.

1kg of cereal on sale for £4, "Reduced from £5", but a 500g box not on sale is £1.80.
Go the week earlier and the 1kg box was £3.50, not on sale.

It's apparently getting cracked down on though, so all prices have to give an accurate price per weight/size, so it can be easily comparable. Basic maths skills could save people a few quid each week, if they were not so blinded by yellow sticker "offers".

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.

In Sainsbury's you can get recyclable toilet roll and non recyclable toilet roll. They are next to each other and are the same price.

I don't understand why the non recyclable toilet roll exists.

"I love my kids. I would do anything for them. But if you are expecting me to potentially chafe my **** to save my children from living through an age of constant turmoil and war you can think again!"

How do you recycle toilet roll?

Also annoys me how on the label it gives you a price per 100ml, then you compare it to the product next to it that does it in Cl and the next in f oz’s

I was worried we were meant to fish it out of the pan, hang it out to dry, then reuse it.

I remember when businesses asked if you were a tax payer & if you said yes they could claim back a tax benefit of the cost of your goods.. (didn't cost you anything). Now they gave regular price & special tax back price.. which costs you more than the regular price & they can then claim back the extra also.. WTF?!?

Recyclable or recycled?

Yeah, and or they give you a price per 100g on one, then a price per 450g on another which is on offer, but don't stipulate if the price per weight is on the original price or the offer price. I've seen it done both ways, on the yellow stickers, but niether described where the price came from. It 100% must be intentional as the labels will all be created by code, which could quite easily standardise it, and make it clear.
