It has to be full price for the previous 28 days(law) then it can be discounted. There is NO such thing as a free lunch. And do not get me started on BOGOFS!

How do I know?I am in food retail.

4 tins of Princes tuna is £2.50 in Home Bargains.

4 tins of Branston beans are £1 in ASDA every couple of weeks. However, I have been watching the price and it has moved from £2 to £1.50 to £1.28 and back up again but it has not gone below £1.28 for months. I am thinking that the days of 25p a tin are gone forever. Gutted.

Be lucky (and pinch those pennies)

For that reason I am taking seriously the idea of either making myself a massive array of sprouters or buying a handful of sprouters. Lentil and mung bean sprouts are fantastic and will probably stay cheap for a long time. Its just doing them that is a drag, so maybe a better sprouting system will sort out the problem.

Basically the supplier has to take the hit. Or they lose the contract. Simple.

...or their product gets moved to the "Graveyard" shelf(above eye-level or below knee-level).

I don't buy that much tined food, but when I do I go to Costco and get a about 50 cans at a time, even then the price of everything has gone up as the pound has gone down, fuel and everything else has gone up so they pass on the cost.
