Most supermarkets now operate a basics/economy/rola/smart price food range. These are normally a cheaper version of their mainstream products.
Normally this comes down to a more basic recipe, cheaper ingredients or some other more basic produce. However there are some products that surely cannot be more basic.
We purchased a sainsburys basics pack of eggs today for £0.54. The normal eggs are £0.80-£1.00. Now here is where the cheaper range gets interesting. An egg comes from a hens behind and once that happens it is simply a potential baby chicken in a shell. So what is the difference between the basic eggs and the normal range.
The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the basic range of eggs come from hens that cannot afford to send their children to private school. Other than that there is no real difference.
Perhaps people should consider that more when shopping and choose the cheaper version of a product when there can be no real difference between that and the more expensive version
