    It is a rip off/sharp practice because Joe Public operates on the assumption that bigger packs = better value, bulk buying

    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

    You've just admitted it's not a rip-off The only problem is your assumption is incorrect. No one else's fault apart from your own, but as you noticed the price difference then you can now assume correctly on that product. Simples

    Example 24 home brand weetabix cost £1
    Below is 48 " " " " £ 2.48

    It is so obvious but, people still buy the 48 pack as well.

    The consumer is the stupid ones, not Tesco

    Maybe it's something in the food that's dumbing them down
