Worksheet 5

Activity 2 - Value for Money

1. Compare the unit price of different sizes of the same brand’s product, as well as products from different brands of the same product.
2. Look out for special offers which might temporarily have the lowest unit price – but not always.
3. The unit price of large packs is often lower than small or medium size packs. But avoid buying a bigger pack if it is likely to go to waste.
4. If a product is available loose or pre-packaged, check the unit price of both.
5. Compare unit prices in different parts of the supermarket. The same product may be sold in different sections, for example, cheese, meats, seafood, nuts, fruit and vegetables.
