Why was *I* not informed?

I went in today, and it was the last day of their offer. Got a third book when the person behind the counter told me (like a boss (both of us)). Apparently they've had this offer for 2 weeks, I just hadn't noticed. I must be getting dumbed, lulz.

Has anyone else taken advantage of this offer?

Glad I could help (sort of)!

They do it often, but this was EVERY paperback, three quarters of the store. I should've stocked up for the rest of the year, I'm obviously gonna be buying at least 20 more.

>implying people care about non-fiction

But yeah, I should've said, it was fiction. I never even go upstairs (where the non-fiction is).

I didn't but only because I've been poor over the summer. Now I'm getting money again I can go out spending it on shit, like a bauss.

I find though it's usually just certain paperbacks that are in the 2for3. I guess they changed it this time.

This does not bode well with me. Now my Waterstones card is practically useless.

>3 for 2
>paperbacks

I thought all stores had theese, only reason ever to buy paperbacks.

3 for 2, 33% off the price, how exciting!
That certainly in no way compares to 100% off!
