You probably should have put when the program was on - I understood that as you talking about a program that was on at that time (I had BBC 1 on and it wasn't as good as the program you mentioned!)

The title of the thread was just the title of the article in the link. Yes, supermarkets can rip you off, if you let them. I was just posting the article for information for others, so they can be made a bit more aware when they do their shop.

BTW, there really is no need for the sarcastic tone in your reply to this thread. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger or annoyance. You don't work for Tesco do you?

No - UKTim29 doesn't work for Tesco but he is in retail. His replies on threads about shops and stuff can often have that sarcastic tone about them. Don't think he likes customers that much

Don't let it get to ya. Thanks for posting the info.

Option 1. 70.8p/100g
Option 2. 58.8p/100g

What's the issue - is option 2 not cheaper?!!

Tip: If you look at the label for the product that sits on the shelf, it will tell you the equivalent cost per 100g!

The only people who fall foul of this are people who aren't clever enough to read the label!

I'm not that thick that I couldn't work out that 2 were still cheaper than 1. My point is that it is very clearly NOT buy one get one free. It should be labelled buy 2 for £2.94

Supermarkets don't always get their sums right! Decimal places sometimes move, for example.
