    YES !

    Makro advertise all their products at the "VAT free" price.

    Those items that are ZERO rated (most foods but not all) obviously sell at the same price

    Otherwise add 17.5% (that's more than a SIXTH !)

    So these are actually going to cost £11.15

    Works out at £3.45 +VAT a kilo = £4.05 inc

    ASDA's / Tesco's 2 x 2.2kg for £15 is only £3.41 a kilo

    Makro is almost 19% more expensive.
