But you were annoyed about student discount earlier. Surely they're younger and poorer than most?
No I wasn't annoyed about the student discount, I just found it a turn off so I didn't buy.

I've got some distressing news for you bc.
Every item you ever buy in your life could be sold cheaper.
Fortunately for them and us with basic comprehension skills, supermarkets do not design their special offers around your thought processes.
Probably true but that is not a reason for me not to buy what I want/need as cheaply as possible.

I have had considerable success in buying lots of stuff cheaper than the price originally offered including - AA/RAC membership, Sky TV, O2 call charges, New BMW, Sat Nav oh and the antihistamines I wanted from Boots (see the op). I could go on.

So my apparent 'lack of basic comprehension sills' have resulted in me being able to buy stuff cheaper.

Still you know best. wink

NEWSLFLASH: Everything you buy increases someone else's profit.

If you really want to stick it to the man you should take up the BOGOF offer, as buying on a BOGOF will increase their profit by a smaller amount per item.
And there is nothing wrong with businesses making a profit, that is what they are there for.

I have no intention of 'sticking it to the man'. I simply try to buy what I want/need in the quantity I need it and at the lowest price I can get.

Simples!
