Is this not a good change or am i missing something?
It’s a good change. What would be even better is promoting 2 for 1 deals on fruit, veg, nuts, seeds, pulses and grains. Arguably meat too, though with the environmental impact of the industry that’s harder to justify
So if I want one lettuce which only has a short shelf life, but there is a buy one get one free deal, I’ll probably pick up two. Because I can only eat one lettuce before it goes bad, the second lettuce will be binned before its even started. All buy one get one free deals should be banned - if you want us to buy more of a product, halve the price!
@jafffacakelemmy @NKBTN (it wouldn't be half, because transaction costs etc) but Waitrose's groups of things - any 2 for £5 or whatever - and the Aussie "combos" make better sense.
