Huw much will people pay?
I used to wonder about this but then I noticed a woman armed with a list.
She never looked at the price once. I continued to look at others and they did the same. Thats how Tescos and the like make their money Robbie |

I expect she would look the way you describe if you saw her shopping, but it would be a mistake to think that she didn't know to within a few pence just how much her shopping was going to cost at the till.

Based on experience, you buy from the market. It's not that easy, the market traders pack up by 4pm, I leave work at 5pm and it takes me 1 hour+ to get to the market. Of course I could go saturday morning and give up drinking friday night, :- I tend to get to bed about 4-5am but the last thing on my mind saturday morning is buying friut and veg, sasme as getting my post from the post office it's not the way I see spending my saturday mornings. maybe when I'm older or married I'll do such things... but presently a night out and sleeping in is much prefered to saving a few quid on the weeks friut and veg. Then there's prepacked veg which is even more diffilut to decide on. Given the choice, I don't buy pre-packed. You generally pay for the pre-packing and they're often not as fresh as the loose veg. True, but teh time saved and carrying the suff home, not that veg is heavy just bulky. Shoudl I buy a large loaf as it's cheaper per slice and have to bin 30% because it'll go mouldy.... Depends on the best before date as well as price. There's no point in buying it at a lower price if it's out of date the next day. I was just refering to in date. I buy out of date when availble. But I dont; use bread everyday perhaps just at weekend so a small loaf generly last the weekend and till wednesday, when if in the fridge it gets dry. Not a problem for toast. -- F |

Things like strawberries/blueberries I expect them to start flogging them singly soon else we take the money in a wheelbarrow. AFAICS Tesco fruit/veg is even more expensive. |

Harder to spot is stuff like bananas - pre-packs are priced per pack (hence per item), with no weight indicated, whilst loose they are priced by weight, and generally (though not universally) significantly cheaper. Look out for the Tesco "Everyday Value". One breakfast cereal I compared was *identical* (Ingredient list and %, nutritional info, RDAs, etc), but half the price of the normal Tesco brand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess you've not been watching "food factory". They start out with identical ingredients, but then end results do not taste the same some years ago I bought some 'new' own brand Cornflakes from Safeway (that dates the story). But they weren't very good. So much so that I didn't want to eat them, and I bothered to take the packets back to the store as they did this refund double your money thing. always been a bit wary of 'value' stuff since. some can be fine, others is pretty crap -- Chris French |
