Should it be a crime for a store to sell items at 2 for $1, or $.59 each. I hate that!?

Question

Drives me crazy especially on items over $1, what if I only need one, or just want to try it.

Answer 1

Its kinda like that at McDonalds. You know you can get one pie for 90 cents or two for a dollar. Thats crazy!

I agree with you and know what you mean!

Answer 2

It stinks, but nothing is wrong with that. You see that in other places too: buy 3 get 1 free is basically the same principal.

I know of a place that once sold 1 item for $2.00 or 2 for $5.00, and a lot of people were buyint the 2 thinking they were getting a deal.

Answer 3

Yep and when you need a single razor for your three day business trip, they only sell packs of 8 at the airport.

Answer 4

This is good marketing. Store makes a profit either way, but if you buy two they get rid of more inventory also.

Answer 5

I only buy what I need... I'm still spending less... but if I want more... I'll take advantage... Don't get suckered into the 50% trap... just because it's on sale doesn't mean you NEED it...

Answer 6

I am not getting your query at all. Do you mean to say that 0.50 vs 0.59 is a big difference?

In US I believe every shop has its own rate. That brings more competition. I would welcome that. Buy at the place where the price is lower.

Answer 7

And if I am elected I will make it a law not to do this!


I hate it also when you have a coupon but have to buy two to use the coupon.

Answer 8

Blame it on The Man

Answer 9

Answer 10

Yes..especially when you know it is only worth .25 each..
