Indeed, I'm struggling to even bother replying to why this:
If Poundland, Lidl and other 'cheap shops' can sell the SAME product at a reduced rate. Then why cant large chains.
Is completely wrong in many cases. Thankfully you've done that. Because he'll likely skip over it I'll quickly do one.
They're not the same Arthur.
Marmite Jar Original 70g - Poundland £1
Marmite Jar Original 500g - Asda £4.50 and as low as £1.65, all being bigger than the one Poundland offer so essentially better value to money ratio each time.

In fact, just tp prove a point. My wife bought a pack of draught Guiness out of B&MS today for £3.95 in Tesco's, this cost £5.95 - whose is making the profit.

As for chains like B&M and Home Bargains - End of the line products, Limited expiration, Foreign writing, lack of advertising, lack of proper store layouts and equipment thus cheaper running costs and whatever else you can think of, pick one. I can think of many occasions I've picked up a can of coke from home bargains and the back has been in Arabic, not a complaint, just an observation.
