Absolutely getzls - and I am thankful for old-fashioned NZ early schooling that ensured this.
Catchweight comparison is always key.

and 'when they deliberately manipulate prices beyond credibility to try and fool us ', rdw.

How about Shippams Paste, on promo @ 26p per jar or 3 for £1? , available in an East Anglia near you.
Agree with middy too. Some things, e.g. value tissues[which adjective is now banished] are sectioned away and down, like steerage pariahs, from the rest of the range.

I jot down prices as I go round, check receipt before leaving, so often means DTD my side of the transaction, not Mr T's.

100g of coffee for £2.84
200g of coffee for £3.76
300g of the same coffee for £1.99!

This was in Tescos last weekend, and I don't think it was on offer, either. Needless to say, there's 12 jars in the office at the moment :eek:

What coffee is that?

Also the funny pack sizes (that there is no logic for) that only seem to appear for a "special offer", used to only have small size, large and then refill/extra value pack, now there is small, medium, large, refill/extra value, special offer size pack, etc....etc..

Muller mini corners there is a 4 pack, 6 pack, 8 pack, 12 & 16pack and each supermarket promotes a different one coca cola share size depending on which supermarket it will be either 1.25 litre or 1.5 litre finish tablets depending on where you shop it will be a 39 pack or a 42 pack or a 48 pack and i cant belive its not butter asda sell a 400g usually for £1 everywhere else 500g for £1 there are loads of others too.

I remember buying some sensodyne in Tesco. I had voucher, but I think it was about £1.70 without it, roughly.

Next time I was in I saw it was buy one get 1 free and it was about £3/£4!

Babybels are another example I've noticed in the past at Tesco. I can't remember the exact amount, but say a 6-pack costs £1 but a 12-pack costs £1.50... Of course it makes more sense to buy the 12-pack, but I see so many people who don't!
I always now look at the costs per unit/per 100g/whatever unit they use! It would be stupid not to... So I can only assume that lots of people are stupid.

Nescafe. The two former prices are approximate. It was an error at the store apparently.

Babybels in our two local T's have been 6 for £1 or 12 for £3 for quite a while now,I think the offer finished about two weeks ago,then they were doing the same offer in C0-Op.
Some Cat food pouches have also been reduced in size to 85g from 100g but stayed the same price.
I said to my OH last weekend that I feel sorry for vulnerable and old people as the minefield when using supermarkets looking for bargains is getting worse.
