Who does this?
I’ll be the first to admit that I am not one for watching every penny that I spend. We’re not badly off and I don’t take the pleasure some people (J is one of them) get out of “special offers” and taking the bus instead of the train to save £1.50.
But, given a search on Tesco’s website for “Butter Beans” returns a result like this.

Who thinks to themselves – “well, I could have the Tesco own make for 49p, but what the hell, I could have the organic ones for £1.60. Or stop… How about £3.25 and I could have the Queen ones!” I mean surely a butter bean is a butter bean and there isn’t too much distinction between different sorts. Or not £2.76 difference anyway.
