local tesco:
6 pack of 1/2 size tin of heinz beans 3 quid
6 pack of normal heinz beans 2 quid.
Who the fk buys the small tins?
My dad would, pisses me and my mum off though as well.6 pack of 1/2 size tin of heinz beans 3 quid
6 pack of normal heinz beans 2 quid.
Who the fk buys the small tins?
His reasoning is "I can't finish a whole large tin in one go, so why buy it when I can finish a half tin in one go"
Anyone wanna give him a slap for me?

Welcome folks, one and all, to the dizzying spectactle that is tesco pricing strategy!!!!
Recently thanks to a bout of family illness, I have been taking the unusual step of piloting a shopping trolley and procuring the comestibles for my family.
Having viewed many a curious price I asked someone in the know what the deal-e-o was?
Some of the "bargains" that I have seen in my travels....
Small washing liquid that is demonstratably cheaper per 100ml than the larger size despite the large size haveing a whopping three pounds knocked off it's price!
Small coffee jar that is shockingly cheaper than buying in larger quantities.
I could go on.
The reason for this is sinister, yet somewhat genius in it execution.
Remember those price comparison adverts? It's all for the benefit of those, the "basket" that they employ is very specific and the store will happily just discount the size that is in the basket!!!
Happy shopping!
