If something is advertised as free, is it still too expensive?

[Kelley1]

That also applies to half price items. Free or otherwise, they always come with conditions.

[LiamS95]

I work in marketing and I've neve found any "FREE" offer to ever actually be free!!!

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nothing in this world it free

[Zack-Bann]

When you accept that nothing is ever truly free you can appreciate the things that pretend to be free


It’s all about making the deal possible in the end
And that means not getting fleeced by the seller


Nothing is too expensive or too cheap
It comes down to perspective

[Tarifa]

It depends. There's a supermarket that has these buy one, get two offers, but there's a catch. You actually pay for both, but get a voucher for the amount of one item. So you have to redeem it in the same supermarket on a future purchase.

Still, it works out quite well if you do the math. Nothing prevents you from using the voucher to pay part of your next buy one, get two offer.

[Kelley1]

Buy one; get one free usually means the price was doubled first.

[Tarifa]

Not doubled, slightly raised perhaps. These are goods I usually buy, so I know the normal retail price. But you're right, better watch out.

[Sevenpointfive]

what about buy one get one free, when the price is over what you'd pay for 2!

[AgentG111]

How is it free what do you have to buy to do to get it free?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Not necessarily. Like clearence or free wood on the side of the road

[DryGermanGuy]

No, but it might simply be useless (just for me or in general).

[Xawyx-2]

It can be sometimes. But probably not every time.

[RavVid]

Second pair free? Yes is often too expensive.

[exitseven]

Yes, most FREE deals are scams.

[noohair]

Nothing is free, do you work for free?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...
