Supermarkets buy products from the manufacturers in huge quantities so they can get them at the right price thus selling to us at a low price and still make a profit .Sometimes it will happen that the buyers can get for eg 10,000 large tubs of clover but only 5,000 small tubs of clover .the small tubs will priced as normal but the large tubs will be priced cheaper because A) they where bought at a cheaper price than normal because of the quantity and b)the supermarket have to move that stock before the sell by date comes due so they put the large tubs on a special price to attract customers knowing full well that most will not compare prices they will just pick up the tub with a big red £2 tag on it .Nothing wrong with it ,it is a perfectly sound selling strategy
