I wonder if that is the same in the USA? I only buy special offers when it is something I buy anyway, there are not many branded items I do buy, so it isn't often I go for the offers.
We have special offers in the stores all the time. By combining, coupons & the sales in the store, you can maximize savings.

Sometimes the sales here in the US are still more expensive than the store brand. But, if you have a coupon as well, you usually will pay less for the name brand than you would for the store brand.
