These days, store brand products are as good as branded items. Stores are working hard to ensure that their products are not bland but are of the same value as branded companies.
To determine the true value of a product read the unit price, not just package price. The unit price information is usually on a sticker placed on the shelf that holds an item.
The package price tells you the cost of the entire item. The unit price shows the cost per kilogramme or litre. Comparing this information with that of similar products will help you get the best value for your money.
Shop better and wisely with Sowetan for good value
