Do you really are trust in all supermarket offerst? 2 in 1...or 3 with 2 price

Well, supermarkets are also businesses and they all need to make profits. If not, they will go down very soon. However, usually these offers are decided by the distributor, or manufacturer of the brand. It's rarely decided by the supermarkets. In any case, I will say that unless the price is cheaper, and I do have use for the item, I will then buy it. Or else, to me, it's just one of the offers in the supermarket. By the way, there are sometimes items where they really sell below their cost. These are "loss leaders" (learnt during my school days), and they do that to attract people to come. People will usually buy more things, and the profits from the rest of the items will cover the loss they made...

I think that once in a great while these offers can save you money, however, I think if you look at the unit price and compare to other products, most of these offers are just gimmicks. If you are in a supermarket and see an offer like this, look for the same product that may be an offbrand and get a much better deal. Compare products between different supermarkets in your area and you're likely to find that you can save at least a few cents. A penny saved is a penny earned as the saying goes.

i have worked as a 'bundler' before, that's what we call that here. this kind of work is going from supermarket to supermarket bringing free items from the manufacturer and adding it to the products they want the consumers to take notice and buy. putting all those free items that you see there being sold, packing them together, i tell you they are true and it is really free. before, i am just like you and do not believe in these things. but after i have worked in that field, i always tell friends if they see something free in a product attached to it, and they need that product, i tell them to buy it because it is really free. i also buy those products i need with free items in them. save me a lot.

Of course they are still making a profit! Thats what makes it a business. If they gave everything away for free then they aren't functioning as a business anymore! But when they make these offers it is a way to entice consumers to purchase more even if it means they are making less of a profit. Products that sit on shelves do not earn a profit, only products that sell. Making these offers reminds consumers that these products are here and it also makes them buy more since its at a lower price than normal. Of course its legit. Also, especially with supermarkets, produce can be purchased at certain times of the year for significantly less than other times of the year and they can then pass these savings on to their customers to keep them coming back. Even other products go through mass production phases when it is cheaper to purchase them like advil, etc and then the loss of profits evens out over the course of the year when they offer these savings. Its not just supermarkets, either. Sometimes the manufacturers themselves will add extra value packages to the products retailers recieve in hopes of buyers purchasing these extra products of their brand like Excederin over other brands like Tylenol, etc. If the customer buys a product simply because it is at a better price and end up liking it better than their other brand, they may be more likely to continue purchasing it at regular prices.

most super market things in my store have like manager special on it. and that means you have to eat it that day or you have to eat it in the next one to two days. and i think thats a little suspisious i even once seen mlk product like that. i think thats really dirty and i don't trust super markets all the time because of that reason. and when they say this is 2.00 and it ends up being 5.00 thats happened a few times to me. i don't understand i thought i was getting a bargin but it was too good to be true.

those promo will actually help ur budget.. but the reason why they offer that is due to its expiration date... the item might nearly expire so they are selling it for cheaper price than not earning revenue from it. some are damaged...

It is business strategy but as I compare from a supermarket to another, I can tell which one is cheaper or just a lie made to improve sales. Of course they make profit but we still need to buy things. Unless we can produce one ourselves, we have to compare which have better value and quality.

Hi, is a marketing problem, and they must live, so they make everything to be on top, they can t lose money just because a lot of people who work there will lose work place, the owner will lose money...and who want lose money in a business? Depend if people will trust in what they say; about prices and quality...any way, i don t believe what they say, just because i work in same field, and i know that this is just a strategy rto try to keep the business alive...sometimes i make same.

No i do not trust in any super markets that offer any special offers as they are still having to make their own profit in some way and lets face it when it seems they have a good offer on how many times have they ran out of that so called offer when you get there?

I agree with you too. I don't think anything comes for free. These are just marketing tactics to get more customers to buy their product. Why would anyone want to do business at a loss? If they are really giving out something for free, there are serious issues with the quality, per me. Most of the times people would go buy these things coz so much stuff is "free", even if they don't need those products in reality. Just a way to get more buyers interested.

Yeah, I do normally trust these offers, but my Mother keeps telling me to do the math first before grabbing these products,just because they say it's cheaper, doesn't really mean that it is actually cheaper than buying the stuff seperatly.

I think the supermarket just minimize its profit by giving the offers. Maybe they hope after many people buy and feel familiar with that product, people will buy it again even if there's no offer anymore. I think it's a good strategy for the new brands.. Of course they never lose money. I buy it if the offer interesting and I do count first before decide to buy it or not.. It's always nice get something that they said 'free' evenothough I know it's not really free,,but I don't mind buy it if it's interesting and can save a little amount of my money

I don't trust them at all .The business man is to make profits.

i will avoid this offerts!!!!
