I stopped looking at the 'price' years ago. I spent many years working in retail and those headline prices can be, and often are, VERY misleading. My pet hate is mayonnaise and where they price some at price per gram and others at price per ml. Same where they price per kg or price per 100g and the dreaded price per one.
It's the same with BOGOF and 342s etc. It can be quite deliberate to get you to buy items you don't need. With a 3-4-2 you are actually buying an additional item and putting more money into the retailers pocket and spending more. Its interesting that you rarely see a special offer on basic household items. It will be interesting to see what the new changes will bring.
A good example of where supermarkets are really on a 'scam' look at washing tablets next time you there. You can have the same brand/type tablets on offer but check the price per tab on competing brands or even the same brand but the different size box. It's pretty shocking. Washing up liquid does something similar.
