I really don't understand supermarket pricing. Small tin of butter beans 50p, full sized tin of same beans, same store's own brand, er, 48p. Um...

Shelf in supermarket displaying Sainsbury's own brand tins of butter beans, the small (215g) tin is 50 pence, the large (400g) is 48 pence.

@LordWoolamaloo maybe the beans are cheap enough that putting them on the shelf (starting from the vat or whatever it is where they are cooked in the factory) is a significant part of the price, and it doesn't change that much for a small or a big can?

plus taking advantage of the fact that they can do it, of course.

@valhalla who knows? See similar on other products, you could go crazy trying to work it out! Maybe it's like "bistromathics" Douglas Adams had in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a weird form of maths that twists reality!

@pete @valhalla I get all of that, but on a common sense level it still feels crazy the large version is cheaper than the smaller! I think this is related to the "bistromathics" that dear, old Douglas Adams invented in the Hitchhiker's Guide, which warps normal reality!
