Free At Last Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 B&Q had an offer on emulsion paint, buy one for £18 or two for £24. I only wanted one so never bought any as in my mind it was costing £6 too much. Maybe I should have stood in the aisle with a placard looking for someone to go halves with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Coryton Posted December 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2017 I believe there’s a huge amount of research that goes into shopping habits to help retailers understand how to maximise their sales I believe there is. I'm aware of some of the ways supermarkets are attempting to manipulate me. I'm sure there's plenty more that I'm not aware of and some of them probably work. One thing I make a point of doing is never giving in to up-selling. It annoys me and it seems to be getting more common. People who do take the cheap chocolate offered at the till when they came in for a pack of batteries are letting the side down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you return unused paint?? Buy the two, take them to the car, then return one and see if they refund you the £18 for one tin of paint...

I did once take a 5ltr tin of B&Q white exterior paint back, it said on the tin no quibble refund if you are not satisfied.The checkout assistant noticed there was paint running down the side of the tin, and asked if I had opened it. I said yes, and I have used half, that is how I know it is rubbish. I had given a wall two coats and could still see through it. I said I don't want a refund, I would put the extra couple of pound to it and change it for a tin of Dulux. Certainly Sir.

RMweb Premium Alex TM Posted December 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi again, To return to BOGOF (& 3for2) for a moment, I agree with the poster who commented on it as a means to dispose of unsold stock, and to do so quickly. There is, though, a positive way of using the free item if it's food and it's 'spare' - give it to the local foodbank! We encourage folk around here to do this, and it's been a big help. Regards, Alex. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold teaky Posted May 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2018 WTF is it? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-44237827 Unless someone's messing about cutting and posing the remains it looks like a cetacean but with a reptilian tail. Very odd. One assumes that if "experts" are indeed puzzled then there are no signs of a tail having been cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
