Buying biscuits & snacks on special
Chips, crackers, biscuits and nuts move through half price promotions constantly, usually keyed to a particular brand rather than the whole category. Multipacks of chips and snack bars are the most common shape the discount takes.
Nuts are the one genuinely valuable item here. They are expensive, they are discounted less often than confectionery, and they keep for months in a sealed container — longer in the fridge or freezer, which also stops the oils turning. Biscuits and chips are cheap enough that a half price saving on a single pack is small; the discount only really adds up if you were going to buy several anyway.
