Show Notes

Twitty and Sean break down the truth behind “deals” from McDonald’s bundles and BOGO hype to value menus, punch cards, and loyalty apps. We unpack price anchoring, shrinkflation, and the psychology behind limited-time offers so you can spot deceptive pricing and find real savings. If you’ve ever wondered whether that $5 meal deal or “buy 3, get 1 free” promo is actually cheaper, this episode does the math and gives you simple rules to judge real value vs marketing tricks.

I'm going to McDonald's because I do it, they have the crispy chicken meal deal where I get the four piece, the. The sandwich, the fry and the drink for $5. [00:00:28] Speaker A: Okay? [00:00:29] Speaker B: All that usually is like 9 to $10. So it is. That's. It kind of is like a bogo. [00:00:34] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:00:35] Speaker B: But it's a meal deal where I'm getting multiple things. [00:00:37] Speaker A: A real bogo would be that price for that meal, and you get twice for that same price. [00:00:41] Speaker B: That is true. [00:00:42] Speaker A: That's a Bogo. [00:00:43] Speaker B: But they ain't. [00:00:43] Speaker A: You can't beat Bogo.

By the way, you ever buy a washing machine get more than a two year warranty? I just bought the one year. This has also been my fricking luck too, man. My stuff wants the dog on break a year and a couple of months after the warranty. [00:03:41] Speaker A: Yep. That's how they know where to put the warranty. [00:03:43] Speaker B: That's besides the point. Went shopping. Me and my wife got a new washer with the warranty and they also came and got it. It's Costco.

But my question is, in doing my shopping, my decision was also made based on who really had a deal or a discount. And so if you're ready for this, I want to know what is your level of consideration, that it is actually a deal or a discount for you. And I even broke it down for you. We can even go by the type of thing you're looking for, because I'm the same way. [00:04:25] Speaker A: Let's do it. Let's do it. [00:04:26] Speaker B: So first, I like this. I like.

You mean I buy one, I get the other one for free? [00:05:23] Speaker B: Exactly, yeah. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Buy one, get one. You can't beat that one. Whoever came up with Bogo, I just want.

You can say that in any state, any of the 50th states, they gonna know. You can't. You can't do better without a Bogo. [00:05:40] Speaker B: I know, but for me, sometimes, like a meal deal, like, think about it. I'm going to McDonald's because I do it, they have the crispy chicken meal deal where I get the four piece, the sandwich, the fry, and the drink for $5. [00:05:52] Speaker A: Okay? [00:05:53] Speaker B: All that usually is like nine to ten dollars. So it is. That's it. Kind of like A bogo. [00:05:58] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:05:59] Speaker B: It's a meal deal where I'm getting. [00:06:00] Speaker A: Multiple things, a real bo. That price for that meal, and you get twice for that same price. [00:06:05] Speaker B: That is true. [00:06:06] Speaker A: That's a bogo. [00:06:06] Speaker B: But they. [00:06:07] Speaker A: You can't be bogo. [00:06:08] Speaker B: Yo, anybody you want to make more money, I know you're a restaurant. Put a meal deal as a bogo. I will buy three myself. [00:06:16] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, yeah. You buy number one, you get another one. Another. Another number one with it. Oh, it's done. [00:06:20] Speaker B: You know how many people. You know how many people at the station? We can do that. [00:06:24] Speaker A: I would go. [00:06:25] Speaker B: I go to McDonald's with you. Yeah. Get two. Get two of them. [00:06:28] Speaker A: There'd be people that don't even eat. McDonald's will be like, get that. They'd be like, hey. Yep, go get it. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Meal deal. Bogo. Also, Wendy's. Also, you're filing Biggie bag. Oh, you make that a bogo. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Anything. Bogo. Bogo. Bogo is my. That's my thing. Bogo. [00:06:41] Speaker B: Okay. This is more of online shopping. Oof. Are you a. And I. I hate these two, but one of them. You'll get my attention. So the first one I hate is the free shipping if you spend over a hundred. [00:06:56] Speaker A: Oh, I hate that one. [00:06:57] Speaker B: That value just does not math for me. Nope. [00:07:00] Speaker A: Because it doesn't matter. I'm getting something for 47, and I still want a deal. [00:07:03] Speaker B: Exactly. But if I can do free shipping for $50, I'm enticed because I feel like I can buy something that's about. [00:07:14] Speaker A: It's gonna be easy to get to 50. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Yeah. It's a stretch. Like 100. I gotta start thinking, like, what do I need? [00:07:19] Speaker A: No, because by the time you get to 80. By the time you get to 80, you gotta go, I need to slow down. Yeah, I need to slow down. [00:07:24] Speaker B: I went. [00:07:24] Speaker A: I went over 50. 50. [00:07:25] Speaker B: There's something about that. That hundred where it's like, oh, that's pricey. But free. Free shipping on $50. [00:07:31] Speaker A: Free shipping on 50 or just free shipping with your order? Free shipping on any. Anything. Free shipping is. [00:07:35] Speaker B: Free shipping is a win. Okay? Me and my wife, I hate it, and I do it, but the math doesn't math to me. Sometimes. Bath and Body Works. Buy three, get one free. [00:07:50] Speaker A: I don't. You know, sounds good, right? And that's because they're using that word free at the end. [00:07:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:57] Speaker A: And that's the only thing we looking at. We're not looking at that. You got to buy three first and Then you just sitting there like, man, But I get one for free. [00:08:07] Speaker B: Why? [00:08:07] Speaker A: I got it. I don't need three of these. [00:08:08] Speaker B: The buy three get one free kills me. No, it kills me. [00:08:12] Speaker A: I'm not falling for it. [00:08:13] Speaker B: I Not falling for it. You know what I do? I fall for it only because Bath and Body Works, they do. They do it right. They. They always do the buy three get one free, and they always fricking do it when they've taken 10% off. So then I feel like I really got a steal of a deal. But if it's the regular price, I don't want to do the buy three. But if I can do buy three and I'm getting 10% off of the three. Of the three, I don't know why. Sounds different. [00:08:38] Speaker A: Nope. Cause I'm still buying three. [00:08:40] Speaker B: I know. [00:08:41] Speaker A: So I'm. I'm like. I'm like. [00:08:42] Speaker B: I feel like. [00:08:43] Speaker A: And I really only came in. I needed one. [00:08:45] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. Yes. [00:08:47] Speaker A: I didn't need four. [00:08:48] Speaker B: Need four. [00:08:49] Speaker A: I'm walking out with four. Feeling like I saved something. [00:08:52] Speaker B: Yes. No, I can't do it. Okay. Appliances. [00:08:58] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:59] Speaker B: This is where I came in just a couple of weeks ago and did my shopping. I would rather you pull a freaking Costco and just tell me what my price is. I love you. I love you, Lowe's. I do. I appreciate you. But you marked up the price. But you were sneaky with it, so Costco. [00:09:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:21] Speaker B: $500 washer. Take my old one. Deliver and install. Okay, 500. Yeah, Lowe's want to say it was like 290. 300 for the washing. [00:09:38] Speaker A: Same washing machine, but like another 300 for delivery. [00:09:41] Speaker B: Exactly. Picking it up was a fee. Installing it was a fee. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Taking away the old one was a fee. [00:09:48] Speaker B: That it made it like 700. [00:09:50] Speaker A: Yep, yep. [00:09:51] Speaker B: So just, just, just include everything. Just tell me what I'm paying. Oh, sorry. And the warranty was included for the 500. I got a three. Doesn't matter. I got a three. I got a three year because I had a two. I wanted a two, but I said bump it. I'm doing three. So three year warranty, pickup, replace dropped off $500 and like 15 cents. All that from Lowe's is going to be like six seven hundred dollars. Because everything else was an add on. [00:10:21] Speaker A: I'm a little frugal. I'm a little frugal. I'd have paid 300. I'd have paid 300. And so to put them in my truck, but then I'd have took it home. I Would have installed it myself. I'd have put everything in myself. I'd have done it all there. I wouldn't have paid for none of them to touch. But if I could have walked away with a dryer for washing machine for $300, that have happened. [00:10:44] Speaker B: But what if you can't? [00:10:46] Speaker A: Can't what? I can hook up the hose lines. No, I have the drainage. [00:10:49] Speaker B: No, I ain't talking about that. But I'm saying what if it's a. You either get it with all that included. You can't remove none of that. You're saying you wouldn't even have gone to Costco, you would just go to Lowe's and get the single Because I was cheaper. So what if the warranty though is like 150? [00:11:04] Speaker A: It wouldn't matter because I'm going to get a warranty anyway. So the warranty is going to be on top of the price of whatever I'm going to pay for the washing machine. [00:11:09] Speaker B: See, even, even if I go your route, I'd rather it be included in the price already. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Well, it's going to be. When you close the deal, you can say, I don't need all the rest of this stuff. So you don't need to charge me for this. Just give me the price of that thing and my warranty. [00:11:21] Speaker B: Yeah, and I guess for me being frugal is I just want everything in there. And I, I hate when I'm thinking it's like, oh, this washing machine was 7.99 and they mark it down to 4.99 and it's like, here's your add ons. It's like just, just. [00:11:33] Speaker A: I kind of, I kind of. But see that's the thing though is that when they put it all in there and they, and they, and they, they don't tell you everything that they put in there. And then later on you find out, oh, they gave you this warranty but they didn't give you this warranty. Like you got a warranty on, on the, on the machine, but you ain't got a warranty on the belt. [00:11:51] Speaker B: I see what you're saying. [00:11:52] Speaker A: And that, that comes with, with, See, I'm cutting all that red tape out. Give me my, give me my machine. I'm gonna put it up in there. I'm gonna maintain my own machine. And I know if I maintain the machines that I got, they last me a while. Like, I mean, knock on wood, nothing happens to my washer and dryer now. But I bought them like five, six years ago. Yeah, still going this is why I'm at. [00:12:11] Speaker B: Because this is like my third washer and dryer and this one freaking just was a dude. Cause I had somebody come check it out and they're like, how old is this washing machine? [00:12:19] Speaker A: How much did that cost when I had somebody come check that out too. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Luckily he waived the fee because he was a partner with Lowe's. So that was free. I made you. Oh, oh, oh. My washing machine was only a year and a half. [00:12:31] Speaker A: Nah, I'm just, I'm just saying. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I made sure that was. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. [00:12:34] Speaker B: But yeah, it was only a year and a half. Fricking O. And the fricking control board went out and so you gotta purchase the whole fricking control board. You can't just add a piece. [00:12:43] Speaker A: No. [00:12:43] Speaker B: And that was 300 and something dollars. So I'm like, I might as well just get a new one. [00:12:46] Speaker A: And then you gotta get a certified technic in order to come out there to do that. Because. Because if not, it's going to void the warranty and the warranty not going to be all. [00:12:54] Speaker B: I. I know how you know how that goes. How do you feel about punch cards? [00:12:58] Speaker A: Punch cards? [00:12:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:00] Speaker A: Depend on what I'm punching. In other words, like, like, like I like my sweet coffees. And I remember when the coffee barista around here, the Dutch brothers around here, they used to have a punch card. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:11] Speaker A: Used to love my punch cards. Loved them. And the reason why I loved them it was because I could fill them out, get them all punched and then put them away. And then they punch them again. Boom, put it away. Next thing I know, I got three free drinks. Two free drinks sitting up in there. And they never go bad because now they got everything on the app and if you. And if you don't use it in a certain time, it comes it take it away. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Yep. That is true. My wife and it's. [00:13:33] Speaker A: And it's like, don't, don't. Why are you taking it away? I paid for that. In order for me to get points, I had to pay for my points. [00:13:41] Speaker B: Yeah. No. So yeah. Why are you. [00:13:42] Speaker A: Why, why are you taking my. [00:13:43] Speaker B: That's why. [00:13:44] Speaker A: In a punch card you couldn't say nothing to me. I could walk in and be like, nope, you gotta, you gotta. This is your card. You gotta, you gotta back it. [00:13:50] Speaker B: And then when's the last time I got punched? Yesterday. [00:13:53] Speaker A: Yep. [00:13:54] Speaker B: When it really got punched a year ago. [00:13:55] Speaker A: But wouldn't it really mattered? Like I, they. I have actually talked to some of the baristas where people have found punch cards in their car today, Dutch brothers still has to honor. [00:14:03] Speaker B: I love the punch card. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Ice cream spot, A donut spot, deli spot, deli spa. [00:14:08] Speaker A: Oh, deli spot. [00:14:10] Speaker B: Kill those in college. A punch card. I killed it. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Pizza. Because Idaho Pizza Company. [00:14:17] Speaker B: Idaho pizza. Yeah. See? Okay. [00:14:19] Speaker A: And then. And that's getting a meal. [00:14:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Idaho pizza does it. Right. Yeah. Because there's some spots where it's only with a certain. It's like. No, you get a meal, you get. [00:14:27] Speaker A: Yep. You get up, you get to sit down and get that buffet. [00:14:29] Speaker B: And it doesn't. And it doesn't. It doesn't matter what you get from there. [00:14:33] Speaker A: No, you can get the one with the salad and the one with. [00:14:35] Speaker B: Right, exactly. But even if you just get like a small pizza or personal pizza, you can get punched. It's not one of those, like, for every 10 meals you get, you then get a punch. You can do. [00:14:45] Speaker A: I don't know. I think you do have to get the buffet in order to get the punch. [00:14:48] Speaker B: Do you? [00:14:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so. [00:14:50] Speaker B: I thought you could do like one. [00:14:51] Speaker A: No, I think you had to. It's because. It's because you get a free buffet meal out of that once you get enough of them. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Oh, you know what it was? We beat the system because we would go during lunch. So we got the lunch special buffet and not have to pay the full price. So we felt like we were. We used to do it. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Right. We used to do it on Wednesdays. [00:15:07] Speaker B: Yep. [00:15:08] Speaker A: So we get double punched. Yes. [00:15:10] Speaker B: So, yeah. Oh, a double punch. [00:15:11] Speaker A: Double punch. I'm coming in. [00:15:12] Speaker B: Cause then in five days, I got it. [00:15:14] Speaker A: Yep, Yep. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Easy. And I can save it for when somebody comes to town. It's like, oh, yeah, lunch is on me. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Yep. [00:15:19] Speaker B: I'm boom on Wednesday. Here's the one I gotta end with. This isn't a discount, but I thought about this. Why doesn't utilities reward you like other businesses? [00:15:37] Speaker A: I don't understand what you mean. [00:15:38] Speaker B: So you got a water bill, Right. You got an electricity bill. You have a mortgage. Okay, why don't they do. If you pay early, you get half off or why don't they have a Labor Day sale or a Memorial Day sale or. You've been with us for this amount of years in this house. [00:15:59] Speaker A: Well, what are you going to say with the mortgage? I would say with the mortgage. Is that. Is that you get your escrow, you get your stuff in there, you collect interest on your house. So your house is actually Making you money. So you come in and you buy your house at 300 grand and you try to, you try to sell your house in 10 years from now, and it's going to be way more, it's going to be way more than 300 grand. [00:16:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:14] Speaker A: So you're going to do it on that. Now, as far as utilities go, like with electricity, if you put solar power, if you put solar power on your property, that actually goes back into it to where your bill is in the same. And actually the power company is paying you to use your utilities, so you're getting on there now. Water. I don't know what's going on with water. And I, I, I, because like, you can't even. Do you. We can't even trap rain water. Like that's a, that's against the law. You can't trap rain water. [00:16:40] Speaker B: What? Yeah. [00:16:41] Speaker A: You can't just set up a thing to take your own rainwater, have that, that your own water like that. [00:16:45] Speaker B: That's natural. [00:16:46] Speaker A: It don't matter. If they see you collecting it, they can find you. [00:16:49] Speaker B: That's stupid. [00:16:50] Speaker A: Look at the law. It's stupid. It's hella stupid. Well, yeah, I mean, that's. In most states, you can't even collect this free water that God gave us. You can't even keep that. They like. No, no, that's a gift. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Let's just hang on. [00:17:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like, wait a minute, dude, he made it rain. [00:17:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Mortgage I get. But I feel like if, I just feel like they can give you some sort of discount. I'm not even asking for a free discount, but I just feel like they could do a punch card. They could do a. You paid early or hey, because you paid on time all of this month. Because there are some people out there who don't be paying. It's like you can reward those people because then they probably want to stay with you. [00:17:24] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. [00:17:25] Speaker B: I'm just saying. And the utility people out there, just throwing it out there. It'd be a great idea. I would pay early. If you're telling me every four months I get 10 off or something. Or I even get a birthday. Give me a birthday discount or. [00:17:39] Speaker A: What if they had like a. What if they had like a restart? A restart. October, in other words, like in, in like one day. Okay, like one day in October. Right. Like, you had to pay. You were paying all the way up until then. You were paying all the way up. And then once you get to October, you like that whole month, that month gone. Done. And we restarting and. But you get your first month with for nothing for free. Oh, so you're reset, your reset. Not a restart reset. Like you're doing a reset to where you just say, hey, just for this month, you own nothing. [00:18:08] Speaker B: Right. See, I feel like there's something, I. [00:18:11] Speaker A: Think though that if they did that because there are people out there that are going to take full advantage, they're going to take full advantage of that free month. I guarantee you they gonna, they're gonna charge power bank. They go plug everything. They go plug everything in the wall. They go get everything all set up. They go, everything, everything going to get done up that day and they're going to charge everything going to be fully charged by the end of that month. [00:18:35] Speaker B: Maybe that's why they don't do it. [00:18:36] Speaker A: Because yeah, then they're like, man, look at that power bill in that month for just for them to cover. Because we like, we free. [00:18:40] Speaker B: Maybe don't do a free month. Maybe do at least a discount. That's what I'm saying. Like, even, even if you give me 10% off one year, do it, do. [00:18:48] Speaker A: It like every cycle. Like every, every, every year you come back and hey, this is your, your second year of being with your stuff. And you, you was on time and you did this and you even signed up for. Because like sometimes they want you to sign up for the automatic withdrawals and stuff like that. And it was like, if it's automatic withdrawals, that means you're going to get your payments on time. Yeah, that means it's going to just come up. So being a member of this automatic withdrawal. Yeah, throw us like 50 bucks. [00:19:11] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:19:11] Speaker A: 60 bucks. [00:19:12] Speaker B: I ain't asking. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Tell us, tell. Yeah, tell us one month. Just be like, you know what? [00:19:15] Speaker B: Nah, yeah, good, it's your birthday month. [00:19:18] Speaker A: But I mean, don't tell them and then let them go tell them afterwards. That way you can be like, hey, remember you for August? And you'd be like, oh yeah, I got to pay August bill. [00:19:25] Speaker B: Nah, exactly. [00:19:26] Speaker A: You're good. [00:19:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Surprises. [00:19:28] Speaker A: See you September. I'm not seeing you in September. Don't worry about August. [00:19:31] Speaker B: I'd be that person. I'd get the next biggest upgrade. Be playing Madden. All kind of stuff. [00:19:35] Speaker A: I'll be, I charge everybody's phone. I'd be like, bring your phone to my house. Bring anything you need charged in my house right now. [00:19:41] Speaker B: I leave every light. [00:19:42] Speaker A: I got the hope, I got the hole. Oh man. Christmas lights plugged in in July. Yeah, it's. Oh yeah, in July they Gonna be like, sean, what you doing? It's free. [00:19:52] Speaker B: It's freedom. [00:19:53] Speaker A: It's free, though. You got anything you want to test? Bring it over, bring it over, plug it in, leave it on. It don't matter. It's not on. It's not on me. [00:20:00] Speaker B: This month we're gonna pop the circuit. Oh, no, I already got a surge breaker. [00:20:02] Speaker A: We good? We good. [00:20:03] Speaker B: I got every surge breaker in America. [00:20:05] Speaker A: And I got a warranty. They come back out and fix that. [00:20:09] Speaker B: But you installed it yourself, right? [00:20:11] Speaker A: Correct? Correct. [00:20:14] Speaker B: All right, get in the comments. What is your type of discount you prefer? Or what are the ones that you think are not even worth a discount? Like, there's. Sometimes some places will do, like, 5%, and it's on something that's like $800. I'm like, that ain't saving me nothing, right? Feel like it's got. If it's over a certain dollar amount, and for me, it's 100 bucks. I need at least 15. Okay, start hitting 300. I need, like, 20. [00:20:35] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:35] Speaker B: If it's $500 and you give me 5% off, I ain't seeing that nothing. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Yeah, no, that's my taxes. [00:20:42] Speaker B: Like, come on. So get in the comments. Pros or your cons of discounts. And also, do you agree with me? Utilities places, we should start getting discounts free months at their choice. You ain't got to tell me. Cause who's going to be mad? [00:20:56] Speaker A: Nobody. You can't be. [00:20:57] Speaker B: If you go a month and it's like, hey, I didn't pay for July. They're like, oh, we covered it. [00:21:01] Speaker A: Yeah, you're good. [00:21:02] Speaker B: But also, don't think every July is your month. It's just the longer you stay with us, we pick them up. [00:21:07] Speaker A: It'll be, yeah, it'll be in that. In that year. [00:21:09] Speaker B: Whatever. It'll be within that year. But you. If you want to play that guessing game and just light up a month. [00:21:15] Speaker A: You know, it was. Was somebody gonna be like, man, I've been here for seven months, ain't did nothing yet. You ain't finished a year yet. You got to do a year first. But there's gonna be somebody mad at 7 months already. Be like, I ain't got. I ain't got my free one yet.
