SPAR 27/08-09/09

Dropping into the SPAR on the corner after work is rarely a full weekly shop; it is about not having to go out again tonight. The aisles in a small branch are narrow, so it is easy to grab two or three things and leave, then buy the same item twice inside a fortnight.

This edition runs from the 27th to 9 September, a full fourteen days across two weekends, so a multi-buy offer does not have to be completed in one visit. This edition runs to 16 pages and covers snacks, breakfast spreads and drinks.

• Katja alle zakken 255/295 gram 2 stuks (€ 4,00, 33% korting): the price is set for two bags together, which suits a household that keeps a fixed snack shelf or is packing school breaks. Because it starts at two bags, the value depends on whether the second one actually gets eaten rather than on how the unit price looks.
• alle Duo Penotti hazelnootpasta (€ 3,69, 1+1 gratis): the shape of a one-plus-one means you leave with two jars, and a breakfast spread moves slowly once opened, so decide where the second jar will live and how long it will take to finish before you take it.
• Guinness of Bavaria 8.6 (€ 1,69, 25% korting): a single-item discount, which suits someone wanting one or two bottles for the weekend rather than carrying a full crate home. Taking only the quantity you need is exactly what a small branch is good for.

Hokimi field note: Read the validity before the price: a folder spanning two weeks lets you split a two-pack across two shops, one on each weekend, and it still counts. Shelf prices and participating branches are as marked in store, and a small SPAR does not always carry the same range as a large one. The full range and the page-by-page view are on the official SPAR folder page.
