If something was say 2 quid but two for 3 quid, then after the second
went through, a pound would be deducted. The thing is, this still
happened even if the unit price had been dropped to less than 50p.

The CoOp was like that too.

That though has changed now, such that the BOGOF or whatever doesn't
apply to discounted items, so that if for the above example the price
was dropped to 1.75 (they're not nearly so generous with their
discounts now, either), you'd pay 3.50 for two.

My Tesco Express lurches from trying to sell its discount stuff at 90%
of original price, to 25%. You don't know from one day to the next what
they'll be offering.

Got some bacon earlier in the week for 85p (down from £3.32). Why they
think I'll pay £1.65 for a £1.85 item with only a day to go, I have no
idea.
