  • When you see any special offers think twice..check it out properly before buying.
    I have come across boxes of washing powder stating special offer 1/3 off but found that the content was actually 1/3 less then the original one. You need to check weight ..QUANTATY as sometimes the box, packet and container may see big but the quantity in it is really less like in some cases when you open the box the contents are really less as the box was1/3 empty. Even packets of crisps chech the grams as you will find in some cases that the original one was 150 grams and the reduced special offer one is now only 140 grams
    Check all special offers as there is in most cases a con motive behind it
  • I usually avoid supermarkets. I find it important to support my local stores instead since they may disappear if I don't.
