Have to watch it when buying our cat food, if the boxes are on offer then they work out cheaper than a big bag. :)

Have you seen the price of a chicken, wtf is going on. :(

Also check the alcohol carefully

Yes, smaller packs can be on offer with a cheaper trade price pro-rata than for the large unit, thus the retail price reflects this.  It is always best to check out the LIS (line indicator strip) on the shelf to see if any price per Kg or equivilant is shown to see what is the best deal at that point in time.

With promotions in supermarkets it is also possible for own brand product to be dearer than branded ones.  You have to keep your brain alert when shopping to get the best deals. :y :y

She says: The Asda (always the definite article)....Tescos (not sure if plural or possessive).....Sainsbury (always singular)  ;D
