Like many people I do the shopping Online and use Morrisons and Sainsburys. One thing about shopping Online it is a lot easier to compare prices of the same item that is if they are the identical size etc.
I have noticed for instance Fairy dishwasher comes in so many different sizes at one shop and the other totally different sizes again. For instance Morrisons may have a 980ml at £2 and Sainsburys will have 970ml at £2 or vice versa. The other thing I have notice is that for the same item in different sizes they will have the breakdown price per litre for a number of items and then it changes to the breakdown price per100ml making it difficult to calculate the cost per litre. Also a pack of 6 bars of soap works out more expensive per 100gm than the 4 pack.
Surely it must cost the manufacturer a fortune to have the machinery to cater for all the different size bottles or packets? Why can't they all standardise at for instance 500ml, 750ml, 1 litre etc? I know the extra cost is pushed onto the consumer, but it is an unnecessary cost.
