Are you enticed by products with such promotions? of course we know that the usual products that we see in the shopping malls, or supermarkets with such promos are the old ones, old stocks and even near expiry for food products.
So for you, would you or are you enticed to buy such products? I think for some, they really have great value, like we have bought some buy one take one toothpastes but the packaging is new - it was packed in one box and it only is available until the supplies lasts.
So, would you be buying such products, say if they are old stocks because it saves you money

OMG, I am one of those person enticed with this kind of promotions. It can save alot IF you really mean to buy it and you bought it at the lowest price. The bad side of it of course is that you bought it out of wanting it and not necessarily your need. The reason I don't put money through online savings or that sort for me to prevent purchasing these kind of things. But if I need one, I contact the seller anyways.

Hello torchablazed,
Promotions purposes are to attract customers. most popular ones are either giving discounts or giving freebies once you bought the product. a lot of business are doing that now a days. but unfortunately, some are really short on cash and what ever amount that you have, surely it won't work. sometimes, but not all the times.
as for the online shopping. i don't trust because some are actually scams.

I buy products on promo but I diligently check the expiration date because if not it will defeat the purpose of saving a lot of money for that particular item. Buy one take one was the scheme use by a lot of establishment to disposed old stocks. If you want to save a lot of money be very keen in checking the items during the promo period sometimes there are good finds too.

Hello chiyosan,
that's because most people are now saving a lot of money and doesn't buy that much anymore. when ever i go to malls, i don't see much customers in the botiques or jewelry shops buying some expensive clothes. most of them go for it when there is sale. and for the malls that are unpopular, they would go for "ukay-ukay"
but the only buy one take on that i have experienced was buying burger
