Another ploy to get us to buy more than we intend.
I prefer Iceland’s BOGOF’s. But I don’t buy them just because they are there.

Eat it and get fat WillowTheWhisp.
Could all this be one reason for obesity? We are being forced to buy more than we want to and then we eat it so as not to waste it.
Once a fortnight or so I get fish, small portion of chips and small carton of peas from my local chippie. But even that is too much for me. I reckon that two lots would be enough for three people. |
