'If supermarkets are going to shout about their promotions, they at least need to make it worthwhile'

Another supermarket is joining the price match battle against Aldi and Lidl. Initially, Tesco started the Aldi price match, which was later joined by Sainsbury's.

By doing the same shop, I could compare a random selection of products, rather than just looking at whether specific items were included in the price match. For example, curry and pasta sauces were two for £2.50 last year, but are now £1.50 each. While the price for individual jars is lower, buying two now costs an extra 50p.

But I was let down by the nearly 8% overall increase, and some of the price hikes were quite shocking - like Flora Lighter going up 42%, from £1.75 to £2.49 for a 450g tub, and a pack of nine Kit Kats going up 40%, from £1.25 to £1.75. And those were on offer from the usual £2 a pack. Supermarkets should make sure their special offers are really good if they're going to talk about them.
