Isn't this simply free (?) advertising on Yahoo's service?
They are always recipe questions and involve buying ingredients (at Sainsbury's, evidently?)

Perhaps not.
There must be some sort of deal with Yahoo! in place, given 'Level 2' without them ever having answered a single question.
It doesn't seem so much like 'shop at Sainsbury's' as it does free (?) (at least, too subtle to be ethical) market research.
They're not the greatest questions, either. "What's your favourite kind of tea, and why?" Imagine if every company was doing that; the site would be useless in no time.

I haven't seen any Sainsbury's questions myself - but I can't imagine their using this service for free. They're probably paying Yahoo! a lot of money for the privelage - which pays for this service, so I'm happy for a certain level of 'Product Placement' as it were. So Yes, they should be 'cause it keeps it free for the rest of us...

I saw a question about hot salad that they asked, but it was right after someone else had asked the same question...

I don't think it is against the rules and no-one is forcing you to answer the questions. If you have a problem with it then don't read/ open / answer.
