stupid pricing in Morrisons

misleading and unacceptable? perhaps they should set up a washing machine, you bring your washing, bang it in, do your shopping, come back and then take a pack of the detergent home.

or

you can take the 30p off coupon and stop complaining?

they obviously not met any of my friends, they would try a bit of dog food, i will always remember starting at tesco`s years ago on nights, i would be filling washing powder, and opposite somebody would be filling the dog food, every night he would be munching on the dog biscuits :eek: , kept offering me some, suffice to say i turned him down :rotfl:

a bit harsh, lol, i think the point was there should not have been a sign saying try b4 u buy, just imagine there faces if the op did as you suggested, turned up with her weekly washing, and demanded that she trys it before she buys it, as the sign suggested, now that would be funny to see, :rotfl: :rotfl:

If a product is priced per biscuit and another similar is in per 100g on the sel. I just look at the back of the box, it usually tells you where the dietary info is what the weight of two biscuits are so just work out the price from that.

I stood in Morrisons the other week comparing prices on liquitabs. They weren't on offer, but a moment's pondering the labels told me it was cheaper by around 15p to buy 2 of the small boxes than one large. This was true for most of the brands in there.

I am one of those men you allways spot in the beer isle, gazing at the beer and scratching my head.

Sometimes its really hard to compare prices due to the offers not being included on the price per litre lable.

Allso you have the added frustration of alcoholic strength to calculate.

So if you see me please excuse me and go around me.
I am not in a drunken trance, I am just doing complex booze calculations in my head.:rolleyes:

where i work, we sell hollands meat pies on the deli for 78p.

for the exact same pie, in an aluminium foil wrapper in the chilled fridge, it's 68p. and it hasn't been under the fridge lights being discoloured.

Phew, I thought I was the only one!

like this -> 300ml times 20 bottles, makes 6 litres...now what the heck is 8 divided by 6...ok...same as 4 by 3... 1.33 per litre, not tooooo bad ...

for hours.

dont forget; this works both ways.

often supermarkets are too lazy to do the calculations correctly and it can end up being cheaper to buy 2 or more lots of smaller quantities than one equivalent larger quantity.

check the labels on the shelf. look for price per litre or price per kg. it is surprising how many times the price per kg or per litre for smaller quantities is less than for larger quantities!

when this is the case, simply buy more of the smaller and cheaper amounts.

i have seen this at morrisons, sainsburys and tescos. dont shop at asda; they are low price but very low quality.
