ALDI 25/09-27/09

Stopping at the supermarket on a Friday after work and seeing a shelf tag that ends on Sunday, most people do not stop to work out whether that price is actually cheap. This one runs from 25 to 27 September 2026 and comes to 24 pages.

Start with the units: This folder runs for three days only, and its three headline items use three completely different pack units. Axe shower gel is 250 ml at 1,89, Red Bull is 250 ml at 0,75 and Clipper tea is a box of 20 bags at 1,99. The first two are sold by millilitre and the third by the bag, so putting 1,89, 0,75 and 1,99 next to each other tells you nothing.

Turn the millilitres into a litre price and the bag count into a price per bag, and the three numbers finally line up:

• Axe Douchegel 250 ml at 1,89 is 7,56 a litre. Shower gel empties at a fairly fixed rate in a household, so the litre price is the figure that carries across brands and bottle sizes. Next time you are looking at a 400 ml bottle, run the same sum and you will know which side wins.
• Red Bull Energydrink regular 250 ml at 0,75 is 3,00 a litre. It is the only one of the three that looks cheaper after converting, because the unit price starts low and the can is small. Watch one thing: this price is printed per can, so if you normally buy a four-pack or an eight-pack, divide that pack price too before comparing.
• Clipper Thee 20 zakjes at 1,99 is about 0,10 a bag. Tea cannot be priced by millilitre, only by the bag. One cup a day makes the box last 20 days; two cups a day makes it 10. Write down how many cups your household gets through in a week, divide once, and you know exactly how far this box goes.

For a liquid the sum is price divided by millilitres times a thousand; for anything counted it is price divided by the number of pieces. Filled in: 1,89 divided by 250 times 1000 is 7,56; 0,75 divided by 250 times 1000 is 3,00; 1,99 divided by 20 is 0,0995, so about 0,10 a bag. The sum is not only for these three; anything on a shelf that prints a volume or a count can be run through it.

These three are simply the items singled out for this edition, not the whole of its 24 pages; the price and the stock in the shop decide, and once it is gone it is gone. A three-day window means these prices are gone after Sunday evening, and weekends bring the crowds, so the popular lines usually thin out by Saturday afternoon.
