cant find a link as yet...but which magazine are in the news today warning ppl not to give into supermarket offers such as price slash/bogof etc as the consumer is being ripped off...i didnt want to put this in the news section as the credit crunch is hitting the majority of us, have posted in this section....
we all know the tactics of tescos et al that put promotions/things we do not necessarily buy at the front of checkouts...
on secret eaters last night there was a section on this subject also, especially how the introduction of web orders has considerably reduced the spending of the consumer as they are not confronted with dazzling signs/promotions etc
do you shop online to avoid the tempatation to not overspend/not buy what you do not actually need?
are you a careful consumer who can go to a supermarket and can walk away from these offers and see what they really are/ a rip off?
or do you fall for the buy one get 4 free, where you home has mountains of toilet rolls etc?
is there anyway we the consumer can stop greedy supermarkets from ripping us of ?
what are your views?
