188: Unashamed Consumer Whore

CAUTION: Yen's blog contains harsh language and even harsher notions of propriety. Reader discretion is advised.

At your local Saisbury's, right now.



• An 18-pack of Stella, £13 down from £18.
• Includes a voucher-code for a free DVD.
• I also had a voucher for double Nectar points.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for a front-of-store special offer.
But since I have a proven love of tramp-deals and free movies, what of it?*


* To be fair, I suppose it's only great if a) you like Stella, and b) you still watch DVDs in this hi-def age. Fuck it, I fit that bracket.

Now, I'm no mathematician, and I'm the first to admit it. I'm not a total dunce, but my mind is largely visual-based, and if I can avoid doing sums, I will.

However, doesn't this strike you as the most pointless sign you've seen this week?



Thanks for pointing out the special offer guys! "At that price, I'll take two!"

Actually, I bought one pack. They're pint-cans, I'm not an animal.

I've got a funny feeling that someone did notice, but they figured that your average Stella-hunter will be to pissed/confused/brain-damaged to notice anything's amiss. They'll auto-focus to the orange "I'm on special" tag, and assume they're getting a bargain.

Ironically, it is a bargain. A 4-pack of Stella-Pints is usually £5.something, so £4 is the special offer. That's what you get for hiring agency staff without interviewing them first.
