BOGOF You Have Heard Of Car Share So Why Not SHOP SHARE

I do this when i go shopping with my friend or sister i think it's a good common sense idea we shared cereal and crisp offers last week but quite often not having a car i shop on line so sometimes i have to just buy in bulk and like it. Or i end up buying for them and they buy me something back in their shop not quite the same but it all works out lol

Hi there ellie333 I very rarely shop with anyone but have shop shared on various occassions and would do so again, it makes perfect sense too.

Hi ellie you are so very right! In many cases you cannot store the extra you get and as a result we end up consuming more and allowing wastage as well. Its a great idea to share it with a friend. That makes sense! It would be like mutual benefit. SHOP SHARE is a great thing to do. In fact I am thinking to do so. huggles..

[i]Hi ellie, that is very smart..I have done that also with friend when I was single and stay with my Sister and friends but now being new here, I haven't tried doing it with a friend.. I would love to meet a good friend here whom I can share to save someday! [/i]

Usually for groceries if its buy one take one, we just buy one for half the price.Its the same as sharing with somebody else.It helps us save money to buy products on sale which are still good.

shop share is a great idea.....I love a bargain but its not exactly a bargan when you are wasting the food, I work in a supermarket and we get a lot of customers complaining about BOGOF's especially the elderly who feel they are missing out as they dont benefit from the BOGOF!

I like your idea of shop share, especially if your relatives/friends live nearby. Or perhaps it can be developed with your neighbors. Shop share does help you save money and avoid food from being wasted.

I think that is an absolutely wonderful idea. I have done it a time or two with my kids....my son and his wife work at Hormels and they have meat sales but it's by the case which is too big for me....so we split. Throw in half the money and split the meat....makes much more sense!

Hi dear its really nice and good idea and it can control budget of each and every month. we dont have such deals here , but one thing is for sure that bulk buying is comparitively cheaper Take care

Hi Ellie! I do that all the time with my best friend. We do it with grocery items, shoes, cosmetics, laundry detergent, everything. It really works out so much better for both of us. And we prety much always do our shopping together, so it's easy to do too. A couple of winters ago, we got the greatest boots - I got 2 pair -and it worked out that we paid $11.00 a pair for them!!! I still wear them, 3 years later. So I love Shop-Share!!! It's a win-win situation, all the way around!!

Hi Ellie-I think that is a brilliant idea its a wonder some people haven't thought of it before including me..am sure that would be a great help to many people if we did that...good idea!

A few customers do this, not just on BOGOF offers though. On products that are 2 for so much. I must admit though it is mainly the elderly people that do this, they come in with their friends and because they both live on their own they will shop share. One of them will by one of the offer products and the other would buy another product on offer and they would trade. If I had some one that I could go shopping with and do this with I would. I think its great as you don't always want 2 of the same products or like you said if its bread or a fresh product, you might not use them both up and one would be wasted. When its BOGOF and one is wasted, I'm not that bothered as it was free as I didn't pay for that one (I know its the wrong perspective)

This is a great idea! The costo crowd might be happy knowing that they are not the only ones getting the great bulk prices. Where did you come up with this BOGOF sharing idea? What more do you know? Your son sure sounds like a cute kid, hope he gets over that allergy w/school. hehehe Blessings :)

It is a good idea, saddly in my case nobody wants to go shopping with me. And I have no car or anything like that, so far I get promises of people giving a ride to the store when they go but nothing happens. So it is a nice but unrealistic idea for me.

That's a great idea. I can do this with my family. I almost get to take advantage of the bulk deals because I can't afford to pay the high price. My children and I "food share" a lot. We will give each other left overs and get together for dinner a lot more now that prices are so high. This way we can all contribute something to a nice meal.

Hi Sweet I think this is a good idea.. Unfortunately I don't have anyone to shop with like this. My daughter and I do buy potatoes in a 50 lb bag and split it sometimes. oxxoxoxoxo

hi ellie it wouldnt work for me as I have nobody to share with so need some other scheme to say food money. I do try to buy store 'brands on a lot of things but some things I just preferbrans I know but I can use coupons which will help. so heres to ways of cutting costs on food and groceries.

Hi ellie, Hey! ellie, that is one good idea, I think I will try that with my friend and it would be fun to get one back on the supermarkets and if everyone try that it will be great, just spread the word around it may work, thanks. Love and Huggles Tamara

Yes i heard about car share, my husband has a workmate and then every week they have turns to drive. So shop share that's a great idea of saving money too. But unfortunately my neighbors and I were not close so i have nothing to share. Sometimes when mom and dad came down here, they bring us some foods from thier shopping. Happy myloting.

Its a good idea, but I have no one to go with. None of my family live in the town that I live in. I have no friends that I would go shopping with. I just have friends that I talk to. It sounds kinda pathetic huh. I'm tired of everything going up. Why is this happeing? The prices are rising and it seems that our pay is falling or just staying the same. THIS STNKS. But all in all you have a good idea. But first let me find someone to go with.
