To pay £10 for a meal which clearly wasn't worth £10 was not something I was prepared to do. Nothing to do with Tesco, apples, tramps or your mum, lovely though I'm sure she is.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-15741895078888012732012-04-10T16:40:45.495+01:002012-04-10T16:40:45.495+01:00Eye, Red.

But it's nicer with someone else.<br /><br />Do people wanting an apple to eat with their lunch have an issue with Tesco having bags of apples 2for1?<br /><br />I mean you have to have a missus and kids to get through that many apples. And you you#d need them to like apples. My mum gives me bags of fruit because she has to take the free one because it's free but cannot use it. My house is full of rotting fruit.<br /><br />I get the feeling of being conned it you can't use the free one, but you know the offer is either for you or it ain't. Don't eat there if you're on your own or ask the tramp outside the Spar to join you.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-60307588892386106342012-04-10T16:03:01.418+01:002012-04-10T16:03:01.418+01:00Or, CL, eating because you needed to, as I did, ra...Or, CL, eating because you needed to, as I did, rather than it being a meal out.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-28930004515873223342012-04-10T11:06:34.620+01:002012-04-10T11:06:34.620+01:00Plenty of offers appear designed for couples but a...Plenty of offers appear designed for couples but a 2 for 1 is not really treating the squeeze.

I certainly would prefer individual pricing for the reasons you explain, but hey.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-82929280935625255122012-04-09T16:47:10.267+01:002012-04-09T16:47:10.267+01:00I went for a pub meal with two friends, a couple. ...I went for a pub meal with two friends, a couple. They had a 2 for 1 meal, but there was nothing under a tenner I could order, so I didn't bother. It wasn't meant to be a meal out, but just a pit stop during a pub crawl. I never order a meal from a 2 for 1 menu if I'm on my own.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.com
