Yeah I've seen that it's a joke. Then again I was asked to shop the other day and I never look at prices. I bought some Beef Wellingtons "they look nice" and they were apparently £13 when my wife inspected the bill. I'm at the bread queue next time.

I suppose it all adds up when you are living on the line. Personally have no time to go shopping about for bargains unless its something more substantial (and not food related!). Click and collect from ASDA!
I saw a group of people in Tescos the other day and wondered what it was all about, then some poor young lad came out with some loaves of bread and they were pushing and shoving each other. Had never seen anything like it, I am all for bargains and reduced stuff but they had no issues with having a scrap for saving 50p on a loaf of bread! They weren't even looking at what it was, just filling their trollies.
I worked in the Walsgrave Tesco years ago and had the luxury* of responsibility for reducing the fresh food and it was a bit like that. I worked three evenings and I'd see the exact same half-dozen people casually wandering round with a basket waiting for the man with the gun to pop up, I assume they were there all the other nights too. Occasionally you'd get a bit of a scrum but nothing more than two people lightly shouldering each other, nothing too mad outside the odd argument and 'I saw it first' nonsense. They'd pick up stuff just because it was so cheap too, no particular pattern to it.
* I could mark down a bag of 10 doughnuts to 10p and hide them out back before the public had a sniff. No idea how I haven't got diabetes
That's a lot of doughnuts.That's where I saw them! There was loads, probably about 25 - 30.

It's nothing to do with being poor though it's just that some people love a "bargain". After Christmas m and s reduced some turkeys to £6 from £12 and people were buying 5 or 6 of them. They'll sit in the freezer for ever.
In my local shop the other day a couple collected some items that had the same sell by date (I e that day) and went to the shop assistant asking for a reduction.
Yeah, there were people in work suits etc. Was crazy.
My dogs are more composed when they see their food.

At Uni there was this public school guy who was so tight it was ridiculous.
Its that old thing though, it's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway.
