'Clean air is incredibly expensive these days.'
We all know that the cost of living crisis has seen supermarket shoppers scrutinising shelf prices a lot more closely than before. But customers have been left baffled after discovering Waitrose is selling full jars of jam for a lower price than empty ones.
The social media user who shared the snap wrote: “At @waitrose you can buy an empty jam jar for £2 or an identical one full of jam for £1.71. Your move…”Some found flaws in the comparison, because the jam jars weren’t the same size. However, it turns out a jar of the store's own brand raspberry jam will set you back £1.20 - but an empty jar of the exact same size in the same shop costs £2.50 - a difference of £1.30.
Another user said: "I re-use an empty Bonne Maman jar every day for overnight oats. Beats me why people buy new jars."
