I don't look at prices or special offers, am I lazy?

Almost all of my shopping is on special offer. For frozen food I just buy the reduced to £1 stuff. I'm not tight, I just spend the rest on more enjoybale things.
 
1) On that one your just being a bit blind :p

2) Must admit im the same with these, never bother even trying to use them in the first place, i just give them to my missus to use instead

3) There are always far more important things on a mans mind then the price of the pint...like for example: hurry up and give me my pint!

4) That's because it's all a crock of **** that normally costs you more in the long run ;)

5) Every day is a sale, its pointless paying attention to them, autumn sale, winter sale, january sales, summer sale, spring sale.... stupid shops

6) Order what looks tastiest i say, price doesn't matter :D if the thought of lobster makes your tastebuds tingle...well then you might be allergic but never mind that....buy what tickles your fancy

So apart from number 1 i wouldn't say your lazy or wierd at all :)
 
1) I'm the same.

2) For 30p I'm the same, but for £300 I'd have waited!

3) I'm the same. I want a pint of Blackthorn, I don't give a **** that it's 10p more here than at 'spoons.

4) I'm the same. "Free laptop with your phone contract". No **** off.

5) I'm the same, unless it's designer clothes and I'll be there whoreing it up

6) I'm the same. The number next to the pound symbol is the quality rating of the wine isn't it?


High five to you?
 
Depends on your circumstances I suppose,if you had dependants and all the financial worry that I imagine goes with it then I expect you'd have to be be more careful.

In many ways I have a similar attitude to you as far as everyday items go such as food,toiletries etc,I buy mainly organic food and certainly pay more than the average but that's o.k,a few extra pounds here and there in my situation doesn't matter as I have no dependants.

I appreciate people with more mouths to feed and bodies to clothe have to be more disciplined though,I have the utmost respect for working people bringing up families on a budget,it must be a real juggling act to keep everyone healthy and happy whilst staying within financial limits.

I'll avoid buying certain products in certain supermarkets because of the price difference. Sainsbury's does the best offers on meat because of buy one get one free deals or similar, for example.

As for shower gel, I won't spend much and will typically go for what's on reasonable offer.

I've bought Asda's own shower gel for 9p :cool:
 
Where possible I generally compare prices and try to spend as little as possible using offers (that are good offers). For somethings I just pick something up. Good example of this was that I went to Tesco recently and picked up 3 packs of lightbulbs thinking they would be perhaps a fiver. They were £15. Apparently Asda do them for like £1 each. For things that I consider a must have and "they will all be the same price anyway" I am sometimes careless.
 
I'm gonna hazard a guess and say you come from money and you earn good money. So you have no concept of the value of money.

Some of us have to care because theres no one there to bail us out if we get in to deep, or understand it's not worth chucking money away for the sake of a bit of thought.
 
I always notice the sneaky offers like 2 for £1 when the actual items cost something like 52p.
 
I buy a LOT of own-brand stuff - saves a load of money for something I totally don't need a label for!

Even the deals on brand names don't get the prices down comparatively low... I do tend to buy the 30p shampoo instead of the 9p one though, I have some standards ;)

There is always an offer on this on yougurts.

It's currently 4 Muller Rice Yoghurts for £2 - a massive saving of 12p :p

It's clever really as it can entice you to buy more of something even if you didn't want or need it.
 
We shop wisely and pick-up the odd offer but I must admit that when it comes to food shopping everything just gets put into the shopping trolley no questions asked. I don't throw money around and the old adage of "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves” is very true.
 
The only time I'll ask prices are when buying drinks for friends....

Single G+T at a bar I was at the other week was £4.50!!! **** that.

I do like looking on the deals websites though, most purchases over say £50 I'll have a quick look to see what the going rate is.
 
for my hobbies I like finding the kit I want at a good price (watchmaking, computer stuff, radio control, snowboarding) for normal life shopping, dining etc i don't pay any attention. I would rather get fleeced at waitrose than rub shoulders with the great unwashed at Asda:p
