Supermarket Pricing
Went to ASDA this morning to pick up some beer for the weekend. In the lobby was a large pile of cans marked 8 for £5. Hmm, I thought, I'll check that out inside.
Anyway, it turned out that the 8 for £5 offer was for 440ml cans. Once inside on the shelves you could buy 8 x 500ml cans for £5.08...
Do the Supermarkets really think people are that stupid, or do they rely on impulse buying by people who can't be bothered to check prices??

Re: Supermarket Pricing
I like to look at the £ per kg, or per ml or whatever, it annoys me when on the sale signs it doesn't have it on, to compare with the same thing in different sizes.

Re: Supermarket Pricing
Yes, some people might say we were sad gits  , but I like to check unit prices as well. They do get up to some crafty tricks, sometimes it can be cheaper to buy a couple of the smaller packs...

Re: Supermarket Pricing
That's why these big supermarkets are making millions each day, ASDA are the worse of the lot. I went to our local ASDA in Sutton In Ashfield last week, I picked a chicken up for dinner, when I got half way round the same chickens were on sale for 90p more. I know 90p isn't alot but when you are selling thousands of chickens each week it soon adds up.
