Q I’m always tempted to stock up when I see offers. But is it always a good thing to do? E Burgin, Milton Keynes

A It really depends on what it is. If the offer is on items such as cleaning products or toothpaste that you buy regularly and you know you’ll use, then it could be worth stocking up. But if the offer is on something perishable, such as meat or vegetables, then make sure you’ll be able to eat it in time or freeze it, otherwise it could go to waste.
