Sainsbury's Again

Just seen an advert from Jamie Oliver advertising their Basics range. Now, all well and good you think.

Now, why is it that if I go and buy a bag of Class 2 own brand carrots packaged to 1.5kg they cost more than the Class 1 lose carrots in pence/kg? Why do they even stock these class 2 carrots and why do people buy them? It just doesn't make sense.

Another thing is some of their olive oils and HP brown sauce. It's actually cheaper to buy three small bottles adding up to (say) 1.5l than it is to get a single 1.5l bottle. Why do they even stock the larger bottles? What idiots buy them?
