What's the smallest value purchase you've ever made?

Ate them. Underrated pub snack.

When I worked in Tesco, the way the tills applied discounts for BOGOF (etc) was to add the prices of the items, then subtract the difference to get to the correct value. So if a pizza was £1 but two for £1.50, it would do (£1 + £1) - 50p.

But if one of those items were reduced, it would still subtract the original amount. So if those pizzas were reduced to 30p, it would charge you 10p for both.

Long story short, abused that at the end of shifts to get stuff for effectively negative money.

Worked in Safeway when I was at school. Some nifty work with a staff discount card and their free magazines (which added 50p to your shop, then deleted 50p after the card discount was applied) meant you could save a small fortune if you happened to ask for 80 magazines or so.

Think my smallest purchase was 3p. A couple of birdeye chillies from the grocery shop on our corner.
