    Buy One, Get One Free.

    Today Devil Man did some shopping with his lady friend...

    And he bought absolute crap

    Because...

    He got suckered into devious stores 'Buy One, Get One Free' trickery!

    Yes! It is true! Devil Man's kindess was manipulated and taken advantage of by these sinister shops. He saw a bluey-greeny fluffy towel offered on a 2 for 1 and Devil Man, foolishly, thought he got a great deal...

    He did not! The Towels are Utter Crap!

    And he often gets taken for a ride on buy one, get one free deals. He just isn't smart enough to stop He buys anything if he thinks he is getting two for one...

    So Devil Man's topic is therefore:

    Do you ever buy something just because you might get a freebie while you're at it? Like those '3 for 2' deals you see in Music/DVD/Book stores? Or in supermarkets with their 'Buy one banana, get another half price!' craftiness? And do you think afterwards 'Smart deal!' or 'Crap, crap, crap! Why I do that for?'

    Devil Man does... and he needs to stop It's not right they take advantage of his wallet with such tantalising offers!

    I love fluffy towels! I'll have it!

    Anyway, I rarely get taken by those deals. The way I see it is - I only want one thing really, if I'm buying two and getting some off it still means I'm paying more than I intended to!

    I went shopping today and got a long sleeved top, my friend said I should get two because they were 2 for £12, but £6.99 each, in the end I'd only be saving £2, and spending £5 extra! And I didn't like any other colours anyway.

    Same with drinks, if I go to buy a drink and its buy one get one free if I don't need two I just dont get the other one.

    3 for 2 is dumb, if you only really want 1. I'd rather pay extra for stuff I reeeally want, than less for stuff I don't want that much.

    Once in a while, one of the Gatorade machines in the mall will pay out two bottles for the price of one, and that's pretty damn sweet. I generally only notice 'buy one, get one free' on cigarettes and candy bars, and will take advantage of this fact if I want either of them.

    I buy useless crap even when there is no deal.
