On Supermarkets and this is a bit of a thread wander….many of the big supermarkets now have a reward card.
Morrisons were advertising their Legs on Lamb(a loved traditional meal for Easter Sunday) at something like £6 a kilo….but this is only if you have one of their ‘More’ cards.
If you do not have one of these then the price was £13 a kilo.
My cynical bone says that the £6 a kilo is the right price….and the 13 quid a kilo is the way to fleece shoppers.
If you sign up for one of these cards then you are giving your details to a company who very likely sell these details on to third parties.
Not for me, and I do not like roast lamb.

Another perhaps somewhat less obvious fiddle is the 3 for the price of 2 deals you can come across. Its ok if you buy 3 but if you buy 6 you are charged for 6 not 4. Its a real pain in the purse because there are some items my usual supermarket does not sell so I have to get them from another bigger supermarket (same firm) which I hate going into. Ideally I only go to this one about once every three months and 'stock up' on these items and quite often have to take a decision on the trade off between paying more than I need or having to go there more often than I want.
