Yes, I buy those items on Buy One Take One promo, if they are those that I use everyday, meaning they are needs. I can save a lot when I buy them on promos. So as you can see in my attached picture, I went gaga seeing that these two kinds of lotion are in buy one take one. Actually, there are many more, but these lotions are what I like most. Though, I only chose the one with vitamin C and honey and buy 2 of them of course, to avail the promo. Do you also buy products when they are in Buy One Take One promo?

I buy only if those are products that I already use and checking before that the price with other stores. Several times I have found that some stores sold the products cheaper than to have one free.

@LadyDuck That is why we have to know indeed the prices of the things we are using in some stores. So you mean the prices of goods at Italy is generally cheaper?

Yes, it is important that we know the price of that item so we will know if we can truly be saving money buying the promo.

@SIMPLYD Yesterday there was a two for one promotion in one of our supermarkets, but I noticed that the price to buy two (not in promotion) was less at my Aldi supermarket. Many times if I cross the border and go to Italy is a lot less expensive even if not in promotion.

It depends on the product and the original retail price. If it's worth it and I really need it then I would buy.

You don't like to try new products? Yes, we should know its original price to see if the promo isn't deceiving us.

Not all the time. Rarely, to be honest. Not because i'm picky but the usual buy-1-take-1-promo items are the ones i usually don't need. I wish they'll do Buy one bacon, take one sausage! lol

@MGjhaud Tilapia! Wow, I haven't heard of tilapia being on promo. Because if they do here, I would buy because I like making it as dried fish or "daeng".

So, you prefer food items. Usually though for the food items, they are on promo already because their shelf life will soon be finished.

I hardly buy stuff myself,but I would think there is a catch in it when I see this sort of promos,either has quality problem or has been close to the shelf life.

You are so correct there. But as to the above product, I think it is because the sale of those is slow since it is a bit expensive for a body lotion.

@ridingbet They were actually delivered today. They are 400 ml. Actually , a 400 ml of Nivea Body lotion is I think 245. So this one is really a bargain at 299 for two. My officemate gave them to me today and I tested it on my arms and find it so nice and mildly fragrant too. I guess, I now have a replacement for my Nivea.

Actually, Puregold is one nice supermarket who have a regular "promos" on one big shelf of different products. Hmm, I think I will copy your way, go to their Promo Section first. I don't do that that's why. I would just go to the supermarket when somebody tells me there are nice promos.

I mostly buy one plus one when I need these items as in your case, or if such items will be useful. Occasionally I have bought in the spirit of experimentation. Yet If I am not at all using such a thing, I desist from buying such a thing even when in a offer.

Yes, we buy mostly those that we always need. Though, unlike you, I don't like buying promos for experimentation. If I like to try a product, I would buy the smallest first. That is because when it turns out not good, then I only lost a small amount of money.

@crossbones27 Of course health factors comes first. And that means it's for the food items. Usually, they have here Buy 1 Take ! for sodas in big bottles. I don't buy those stuff because they are unhealthy foods.

I'll take advantage of a Buy One Get One if it's something I use. Last bargain I got was Ken's light salad dressing which was BOGO and that was a win for me

In Malaysia it is buy one free one. You buy one item and get the same item free. So you are buying two unit at the price of one. Good bargain but I only buy food stuff
