Dairy Crest Original / Light Deal Co-op

I watched with interest a programme shown on the BBC, pointing out how the big supermarkets are ripping of or tricking consumers and even confusing them.

One of the things that often came up was how large packets were more expensive than the small packs, often claiming the larger pack was great value. Spreads were shown as an example and this can be found at my local Co-op  a large 1 kg pack of Clover cost £3.99 and two smaller 500g packs can be purchased for £3.00.
Some of the 1kg packs are marked value large pack and the others value family pack. The pack marked Large Value Pack has been produced in a container carefully designed it looks bigger than the family pack.

The said many shoppers don't have time to check out things whilst shopping, I wonder if supermarkets rely on this.

 

Oakham Co-op Glum Christmas The Co-operative

Oakham Co-op Glum Christmas The Co-operative
Listening to Rutland Radio this morning the presenter was expressing his concern that shoppers in
the local Tesco were not looking happy this Christmas.

I thought I would take a look, I found staff at Tesco getting into the Christmas spirit. I did spot some happy people shopping, of course we all know supermarket shopping is not a past time of choice for many of us.

Next it was off to Oakham Co-op a smart store almost empty and the staff not to happy the Bah Humbug hats a good match with the uniform.

I purchased some fruit no waiting at the checkout. What I can't understand is we are led to believe most people in oakham hate Tesco but the Co-op is never busy and its a fine store. The fruit I purchased was half the price than the Tesco equivalent.
