Bypassing a promotion limit by leaving and returning
Question
Shalom,
If there is a promotion in a store and the product is limited to 3 units, is it permitted to leave the store and then come back again to buy another 3 at the discount?
Thank you
Answer
Shalom u’vracha,
If it is not written that the limit applies per household, family, etc., it is permitted to leave and come back again.

If the store owner did not explicitly state his intention to limit it per household, and also does not insist on this, we should assume that his intention is to limit the purchase based on the assumption that most people will not go out and come back again.
