I will not, unless i really know about the products and brand ^_^ If not, normally most cases of buy 1 get 1, will be for them to clear out old stocks and some of which might be faulty or spoil whereby once the stocks are cleared, we cant hold them respsonsible anymore.. For food, i'm ok with it, as there will always be expiry dates, and as long as we check it, it will be fine.. But for electrical appliances, i will be tempted to buy too if i really need it and it's on good offer, but weather if it can last, it's another thing.. lol

Hmmm... It depends on the item that I'm going to buy. The only time I usually take advantage of stuff like that is if its chocolates. Most of the time, when they put chocolates on sale, the expiration date is still two or three months in the future.... and knowing how much people at my home love chocolates... uhhh... I doubt it'll lat that long.

Almost always! Very few times will I let a BOGO slip past me if it's something I use/eat. I'm way into saving money as much as possible!

It all depends on what it is. With food it depends on the experation date and also if I really think that I will eat the food. Clothes I would take that deal for sure.

Hi, sharie16. Yes, I usually will take advantage of this deal just as long as it is free, with no bogus strings attached to it. I love buying one and getting the other item for free. Especially, if the price that I am paying for, for the first item is reasonably priced.

If it's something I will buy anyway and if it's something that I can use before it spoils (if food) then yep, I take advantage of it. But if I have no use for it or there's a chance it will be thrown away, then no.

Yup, it would sure attract my attention, but usually after due consideration, I might not take it up, especially food items. Unless it's shampoo, facial cleanser, toothpaste, tissue and things that we use frequently, so we don't have to worry about expiry dates.

I get what you are saying sharie. It does depend on the product. I really like to buy meat when it is a buy one get one free deal. I will put one of the meat products into the freezer to keep it fresh. Certain things like shoes are also a great deal for by one and get one. I do like shopping when I can get around to it.

Anything to save a dollar, if its buy one get one free then that is what I will do. I live alone so I usually end up giving it to my daughter if it is something she can use. Or maybe one of my sisters, I learned this from my aunt she never would pass up a bargain. And would go from one store to the other searching for them.

I will get the product if I already have plans to get it...just sooner. My take on this is that if you don't like the product, you probably won't like it no matter how many copies of it you may have. However, if you like the product, and it's "buy one get one free" for the same price, then I will have more motivation to spend my hard-earned money on the product. After all, I can give it away as a gift or even keep it for myself. Just my 2 cents. Happy Mylotting!

hi there, i do take advantage of it, if the quality of that product is really good. i do check with it when it comes to offers. i have seen lot of such signs for the clothes, ear rings. it is a very good idea to attract the customers. if i like the material i will definitely grab as much as i can.

I usually take advantage of "buy one get one free" offers when the things that are sold are useful to me. While buying food products, I am extra cautious with the quality and expiry dates. Incase of clothes, I choose the ones that I may be able to wear the most. I usually don't buy something just because it has an offer tagged to it. Happy MyLotting.....

the same to you. i always think if there is buy one get one free, maybe there will have something wrong with that product, and all will exceed the time limit, so i will choose carefully. once there was a promotion activity,some people will easy to go into ecstasies. i was not an exception.

No I don't because such stuff is usually low quality which can't be sold without such great offer. If it is good then why they are giving away for free...
