Odd Supermarket Pricing

[mustard-tree]

I wanted some immodium, so went straight to the pharmacy counter and asked for some

Box of 12 for £9

Didn`t want that many and asked for a smaller quantity.

The lady told me they had boxes of 6 in the aisle, and kindly showed me where they were

Box of 6 for £3.25

Does that make any sense to you

Well the smaller packs may have been on offer ....who knows..

Its a bit like when you go to Subway and buy something there...sometimes it is cheaper to get a sandwich plus a drink plus a packet of crisps than it is just to get the sandwich and the drink.

It does seem odd ....but it happens quite a lot....

Try Wilcos - I got a box of 6 for 60p

[jillyjingle]

the generic name for imodium is  loperamide hydrochloride and 6 of these capsules can be bought for around 65p in large supermarkets and drugstores.  Our local small chemist sells 30 for £3.50

so try this then:

Tubs of vanish.

750g stanard price £3.00

1kg on offer £5.00

960g of some fancy version on special offer £7.00 

and

wait for it

1.5kg tub £12.00

Got my 1.5kg in two tubs for £6.00.  Judging by the shelves people weren't doing the maths. It is such fun shopping these days!!!!!!!!!!

It's ok until one kind is in grammes and the alterative is priced in litres or something!!  Then I'm lost. And anyway, I still speak in pounds and pints!
