Check labels for trickery when shopping
Take yesterday for an example I wanted tipex tape and picked up a twin pack just assuming it is cheaper and of course environmentally friendy, (only one plastic carton instead of two) same packaging for a twin pack as for a single pack, but wait, I happenned to check and incredibly the two single packs are £1 cheaper than the twin pack.
Now I call that deceipt.
Two plastic cartons for the bin and yet they are cheaper!! WHSmith shame on you! a name we all know and love? It is now common practice to do this, and just because we have all been brought up to assume bigger is cheaper they try to cash in on the times our guard is down to trick us out of another few pence.
Next time you are in the supermarket, WH Smiths or any shop in fact you will regularly find twin packs are MORE than single packs.
Is this called marketing? Where will it all end?
