I've bought a few things recently that I actually wanted, worked out the price per item, searched for a lower price elsewhere, found that Q were the cheapest, then ordered.
So how is this getting sucked into buying, as I wanted or needed the items anyway?
The answer is that they were all multi-packs.
In other words, although the price per item was good, I had to buy 3, or 4, or 6 or even 8 sometimes.
Very often I give the surplus away for birthdays or Xmas. But who needs a cooling down towel (a 4 pack) at the end of December?
And who else needs more than one alarmed doorstop (another 4 pack)? And don't even mention the 8 packs of Kochblume cloths or solar lights!
So looking back I find that I have many unused items that were multi-packs, and even though each item was a bargain, they are not so when I end up with unused items.
Has anyone else been sucked in to buying multipacks of more than they need? And how else do you get sucked in to buying when you didn't intend to?
