That's why you buy chocolate instead. £2 can buy you a huge dairy milk bar from Tesco ;)

You ever properly took into account that a burger from a fast food restaurant costs a quid, and a salad from your local supermarket costs like three quid?

Not fat shaming, but i mean no wonder there are obese countries when they literally have the cheapest option to buy a burger over a salad etc.

Personally i love fruit, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries.

They're all my favorite, but at my local supermarket they are £2 each...........

What are your thoughts?

I do my own shopping and will tell you this :

A banana at morison's costs 00.05 per banana

Depending on what you get it can be more expensive. This depends on where it comes from and how "exotic it is.

Personally a full dinner for me costs £4-5 to make (single person) while a Mcdonalds (for example) large meal costs around the same amount and sometimes more.

If you are talking about Chicken and Chip shops they are cheap as the chicken is mass produced and cheap to buy itself. It's mostly a target for people that are: on benefits, disabled, young.

If your shop is too expensive find another that is cheaper.

Most of the time it will go like so:
(cheapest to most expensive)
IceLand
Aldi
Lidl
Morison
Asda
Sainsbury
Tesco
M&S

If you cannot afford to shop in the top brand shops, don't do so. Sometimes Tesco is cheaper than Sainsbury, again this depends on what you are looking for.

If you are wanting more organic food by all means go to Sainsbury, Morison and Tesco. Sainsbury practically sells only organic food (of course there is non-organic there also) and there's a wide variety in the other 2.

perhaps the price is high because its premade? i mean you can buy things individually from a salad for a lot cheaper but people are lazy. therefore they go buy a burger

That's exactly the reason. It's all to do with these things. Location of import, pre-made or not etc.

If people are too lazy and want to waste money fine by me.

my opinion has slightly altered, what a smart way of making money lmao

Honestly its just BS that prices are lower for junk food and then all the healthy stuff has higher prices. Its like your state wants people to become a fat a$$.


Its all for the money. People are dirty little cheap *****

Costs go like this:
Frozen is cheaper than not frozen food.
Non-organic is cheaper than organic.
Mass produced farmed meat is cheaper than free-ranged meat.
Fruit from close regions cost less than from a-far.
Less known companies cost less (obvious reasons)
Food and Beverages in high production cost less compared to food that isn't. (compare prices of chicken to caviar, £4 for a full chicken compared to £1k+ tuna sized can of caviar)
Common food costs less.
Pre-made costs more or less, depending on ingredients used.
Alcohol that's mass produced (not fermented fully or using cheap machines) costs less (compare price of a corner shop ciders to strong-bow etc.)

There's a lot more points but these are the most important. With Alcohol I do advise spending more.

Fruits are really expensive, especially when you consider how calorically dense they are compared to cheaper and less healthier foods.

To be honest though, it's rare to see someone eat as much fruit as they do other foods like chicken, rice or milk. So you'd expect fruits to cost more since they make up less of the average diet.

It's still pretty easy to eat healthy without fruit though, especially when frozen vegetables are like £1 per kilogram in ASDA.
