when I wrote up the blog yesterday. And I forgot.
I am usually pretty good when it comes to Buy-one-get-one-free offers. If I really only want one and can't see how I can store or preserve the second one, then I usually manage to restrain myself and only buy the one - to the occasional incredulity of checkout people.
On Sunday we went to the supermarket. Amongst the things I intended to buy was a bottle of something fizzy and wine-like. But only one, for The Builder is not a keen imbiber of fizzy wine. He'll have the occasional glass, but usually when there isn't anything better on offer. So I was slightly tempted by the supermarket's offer on white and rose Spanish fizz, but not greatly so. One bottle would do nicely. But which colour to have?
While I was pondering, The Builder decided that probably I really did want two bottles. I looked a bit surprised. Then realised that one bottle cost £11. The offer wasn't that I could have two for £11. The offer was that I could have two for *£10*. An offer too good to miss. I bought a bottle of each colour!!!
I wonder if they were finding them hard to shift. They weren't hard to drink, it must be said.
