Unit pricing is just one aspect of grocery retailing where there is less than plain dealing.
Two for one, or three for two offers rely on the products being sold at differing (higher?) prices in the preceding twenty-eight days.
They are manipulated with such byzantine complexity that it becomes impossible to determine if any savings are being made when considering a multi-buy offer.

Quite so. My pension fund has holdings in the grocery retailing sector on both sides of the Atlantic so I want Tesco and Walmart to be successful.
I'd just rather they made their profits by fair means not foul.
