Asda are full of this.
Packet soups my misses buys are 38p each or 4 for Ł2.
We darent buy 4 just incase they honour the deal.

Theres loads of other stuff where its cheaper to buy two smaller items than the single larger one.
They must think we're really fucking thick.

This is a regular sight where I work. I use to say "sorry sir, but you get one free with this product. Shall I get you one more ?" "No, just going to do the wife's car, don't need two"

Jeezus give your neighbour a bottle then, you short-thinking little twat.

Anything you see like this at Tesco buy it and when you tell customer services after buying you will get the items for free and your money back

If youd looked at both pictures youd have seen that the smaller bottle is CHEAPER per 100ml than the larger one.
