Geriatric shopping

The sum:-
6 packets of 25 gm each for 140pence = ? per gramme

6 packets of 34.5 gm at 45pence per pack = ? per gramme

It will probably work out that the multi pack of 25 g each will not be very much different per gramme to the 45 pence packs but the point is the confusion for us old people to be able to decide when shopping.

@EWilsonLife Sad to hear, thankfully however, Independent shops are still very vey common and popular in England/Britain and Europe.

Good job for supporting locally owned stores. Here in America our country has been hit with chain restaurants and places like Wal Mart and there aren't many little mom-and-pop stores.

the question is: do the packets of crisps contain the exat amount the little man proclaims to start with? or does he sometimes have a bad day so that there could be 3 1/2 crisps less, mmmmmh

In Norway the price pr. 100 grammes or pr kilo is nearly always stated on the price tag.

The MOST economical way to do this is to buy the plastic 'snack-sized' baggies and the largest bag of crisps (450 gms?) At home, divide the crisps amongst the small bags and seal. It's not as wasteful as it may sound, as the baggies can be used over and over again. This way you can also control your own portion sizes, important if you're watching calories and/or sodium intake. In the end, one can save a lot of money by dividing up the larger sizes of many things themselves.
