Spar on island is run by Heron & Brearley who are also the largest brewery on island. Being an ex Spar retailer living on island for quite a few years I am really upset how they present their representation of Spar on island. James Hall and co Ltd (the supplying wholesaler in the U.K.) need to take them to task. The Coop on island is good but a bit too quick at putting up prices.
@Amadeusiom, I live in South Africa, Spar is generally more expensive then other retailers. I shop there when I need to be in and out in a hurry as its generally quiet and safer to shop with kids. Generally Spar also has a good quality bakery. For large shopping basket, I usually go to Checkers which is cheaper
Frank can you do a comparison on meat? a pound of steak, lamb, minced beef, chicken, sausage, ham, etc, excellent video anyway mate and we cant wait to join you in April
Have you checked Shoprite prices for Sainsbury's products? Mark up varies but some items appear to be 50% more exoensive than Sainsbury's charge. So much for their claims to be competitive.
For stuff like bananas, an option is to always buy 5. Then have an autosum on the spread sheet where there is one column for price, one for weight, then you can work out the price per KG exactly. eg, 5 bananas cost 1.20 pound and weighs 800g so price per KG is 1.49. The formula is PPkg = TP / TW Where PPkg is the price per kg TP is the total price ($) TW is the total weight (kg) This should make life easier going forward. just buy 5 bananas and note the price and weight each time and compare the price per kg
A great breakdown but my Tesco bill on average 2022 was £97 this year £113 that beats the rate of inflation for 2022 Dec @ 7.4% @ 9.1 % overall prices here just keep rising, 20p for spaghetti up to 28p no matter is about 30% higher?? lets not include the % for fuel, gas or electric!! All blamed by covid lol!!
@@amadeusiom Cue to 9:50 that's Hong Kong. Anyway, I thank you for your informative videos, which helped me make the decision to move to IOM instead of UK. Hope we'll cross paths.
