Sainsbury’s Local: 85p Sainsbury’s supermarket: 75p Price difference: 13.3 per cent THIS tin of beans is another ‘known value item’, as the industry jargon describes it — a staple where shoppers keep a sharp eye on its price.

Red Leicester cheese, 250g

Sainsbury’s Local: £2 Sainsbury’s supermarket: £1.70 Price difference: 17.6 per cent THIS cheese is made for Sainsbury’s at the Taw Valley Creamery, devon, owned by the large multi-national dairy processor, Arla. The supplier will get paid the same, regardless of which shop it is sold in.

Sainsbury’s Local: £1.35 Sainsbury’s supermarket: £1.15 Price difference: 17.4 per cent THIS is the stuff in the chiller cabinet — ‘never from concentrate’, the packaging says. That may be so, but the price isn’t quite as refreshing in the Local outlet.

Green Giant Original sweetcorn, 198g

Sainsbury’s Local: 75p Sainsbury’s supermarket: 65p Price difference: 15.4 per cent SUPERMARKETS tend to compete heavily on well-known brands, but Sainsbury’s clearly feels it can afford to charge a 15 per cent premium at its Local stores.
