Of course it is a marketing strategy and only a fool would not realise that. I did not go in it for a sheepstation as we say here, and I was well aware that it encourages the gamble type instinct.

However, how could I lose? I was getting a freebie (bogo) which I chose  with a product that was already discounted AND a lucky dip as well 3 products for the price of one discounted product. It was a win win situation for me AND I am sure the vendors would be happy...... That is also great.

I would rather say thank you kindly than grumble if the Grab was not one that appealed. I thought that all the ones that I was given were super and a bit like icing on a cake for me.

Surely we should be grateful for those who organise such a fun temptation so that our hardworking vendors build sales. Let's try and avoid being knockers after all no one twisted anyone's arm to participate and buy.
