Greed is good ?

A random observation from shopping in our local Asda today:

1 bottle of 1.25 litre Coca Cola £1.10

2 bottles of 1.25 litre Coca Cola £1 (2 for £1 offer).

So it actually cheaper to buy 2 bottles than 1 bottle. If you only want one bottle you are financially better off if you take 2 through the till and throw the other away.

These prices seem a little strange to me. Is this what they mean by an "Asda price". They are still playing that annoying jingle all the time anyway.

After Christmas..............

I was "obliged" to visit the Christmas sales. This was the grim scene of consumerism yesterday at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent England.

There was also barely a spare seat at the Bluewater sushi bar. There has obviously not been a polonium-related dip in this line........................

I guess I was relatively easy to spot- the unenthusiastic shopper taking photos of all the others :-)
