    I now run a small Facebook group where we tip each other about deals in stores, And make bundles & product listings for stuff to sell on AMazon and Ebay.

    For example, Matchmakers Gift Bundle from Tesco. Cost 6 x 75p = £4.50. Then Clubcard plus for 10% off! £4.05. Then buy a 5% Gift card to pay for it, so it's down to £3.85. Use a cashback card 1% to buy the gift card. 3.85p, so down to £3.81, and then of course you get 1% in points on the £4.05 so that's 4p. So in total a cost of £3.77!

    Matchmakers Chocolates: 6 Box Gift Bundle: (6 x 120g) - 3 Fantastic Flavours: Cool, Mint, Zesty Orange, Maple & Pecan: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery

    And the selling price! £13.99! Easy money.
    who are the people buying it for £13.99 from amazon when they can buy it for £6 in tesco.

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Yep, harmless enough. Good luck to her I say.

        Still, it set me thinking.

          It's a great business idea. Small matter of copyright, but still.

                She's probably a franchisee.

                  But I guess to answer Andy's question, buyers are probably people who don't have easy access to such tasty tidbits?

                      People who don't look past the end of their noses when doing their shopping. A next day Amazon delivery is easier than going to Tesco.

                      I'm guilty of taking the easy option on several occasions but I do take Amazon pricing with a large pinch of salt.
