Here is some sharp practice by Tesco

Bold Liquitabs (Detergent sachets)

12 £3.88 = £0.323 per sachet
20 £6.86 = £0.343 per sachet

Rip off Britain

Customer Service girl just shrugged her shoulders and gave an inane grin when I pointed it out

They even sneakily fudge the simple maths - small pack is 12 bigger pack is 20 - not 12's & 24's or 10's & 20's

The Hard Discounters have a lot going for them Aldi's quality is top class IMHO - Tesco are running scared of them hence their introduction a year or so ago of so called "Discount Brands" which in effect are Tesco own label with soppy names like "Daisy" and "Country Harvest"
