    Definitely those tubs of sandwich mix, they taste pretty foul as well. A lot of yoghurts and individual puddings are quite pricey as well.

    Just talking about supermarkets, and excluding special offers, soft drinks in cans cost around 75% more per litre than the same product bottled.

    For example, at Tesco:

    Coke 2l bottle = £1.66 = £0.83 per litre

    Coke 6 x 330ml cans multipack = 1980ml = £2.85 = £1.44 per litre

    Are cans made from silver or something?...

    Also at Tesco...

    Pepsi Max 650ml at 99p BOGOF

    Pepsi Max 2litre at £1.00 (although that is a special offer price!)

    Hmmmm, apart from the ready peeled eggs this thread reads like my weekly shopping list. I had better get on the OS boards a bit more!

    Not if you are out & about & want a cold drink. I prefer water to soft drinks.

    And not if the tap water in your area is tainted and horrible.
    At 13p for 2 litre I don't mind paying for it.
