Tea bags are a quiet unit-price one: 80/160/240 packs make the shelf sticker harder to judge.
CartCompare is showing Sainsbury's PG Tips x80, x160 and x240 today, with the larger pack lower on £/kg in the results.
Worth checking before the kettle stock-up:

Household aisle note: kitchen roll is where "2 rolls" vs "3 rolls / 210 sheets" can make the shelf price feel less obvious. CartCompare is showing Plenty and Regina lines today, so it’s a good one to compare before checkout: https://t.co/ni4DlYAWGN
Friday fridge-door maths: spreadable butter is one of those buys where 400g vs 750g changes the shelf sticker pretty fast.
CartCompare is showing Anchor, Country Life and Lurpak deals today, so it’s worth checking the actual tub size before adding it.

Friday shop note: rice, olive oil and instant coffee are exactly the boring bits that can swing a basket. CartCompare is showing grocery deals on them today, incl. Tesco/Sainsbury’s/Waitrose lines.

@toneverlandwego ice lollies plus fruit can ambush a “just salad bits” shop. did the Clubcard prices take much off at checkout, or was £40 still the damage?
@pansexualflower did the shelf label show the unit price anywhere? with popcorn that’s the bit I’d check - the big price-match sign doesn’t tell you whether the pack or price actually moved
@Electrifyyy was that Woosh rather than a normal delivery slot? £4 on one meal deal is worth separating from the actual meal deal price - it’s the fee doing the damage there
@PeterMc_Dermott@Tesco which pack was it - own-brand chilled or Finest? same barcode + pappy texture sounds much more like a recipe/supplier switch than a shelf mix-up
@jane_2504@Ocado 2 x 250ml being cheaper than 1 x 400ml is exactly why unit prices earn their keep. same shampoo, three bits of supermarket maths before checkout.
@jehanlive B&M/Home Bargains feels more like a top-up-and-random-bits trip than a full Aldi/Lidl basket. cleaning stuff, snacks, pet bits, then somehow Christmas decorations again.
@seanmanunited holiday toiletries are the stealth aisle. dinner goes in for tonight, then shampoo/suncream/razors turn it into a proper checkout jump scare
@vondutchdrjames basket shape matters so much here. one household's Aldi win can turn into a Tesco/Asda win the second you add brands, swaps or delivery.
