Asda used to limit sales but this was recently lifted to help boost their profits. You will often see the local corner shop restocking from Asda :-)

Genuinely we do go to Makro sometimes, but mostly the cheapest option is a specialist supplier who do weekly deliveries.
My husband runs a sandwich shop, and the cheapest option whilst maintaining quality for sausages is Lidl, same for salad items and sliced bread, so he does a lidl shop for fresh salad and sausages etc every single day. Sometimes crisps, coke etc is cheaper in there in multi packs than the wholesaler or the delivery and so he buys them. Or sometimes he just sells more than expected and is short etc (small shop, not much storage space)

We ran a mobile food van for several years, dependant on items we could source some things cheaper at Asda for example .
We worked 5 days a week and were the busiest for miles so it wasn't a case of buying to avoid bulk buys big box Makro etc due to no need. We crunched numbers continuously. We did source our meat from a local butchers however who did us a great deal and far far beat any Makro/supermarket packaged , same with the bread factory next door , lucky. The multipack thing..yes it confuses almost everyone . We would buy cans /crisps wherever offered the best deals in that moment, usually supermarkets beat Costco and Makro , Bookers etc We had one customer query 'not to be sold separately ' once in the queue on a can of pop...local Police man in queue chirped in ' nope totally ok actually ' . |

Mmm, not good. When my Mum was alive I used to take her to Sainsbury's every Thursday. Took over 2 hours!
However one day I went looking for her and she was berating a staff member about a whole pile of out of date Kipling cakes. As I arrived this Lady was slinging them into a trolley for disposal. Maybe 50+ boxes. I glanced at them and my Mum had got her dates wrong, they were fine! We beat a hasty retreat!

Yeah wholesalers are super cheap for certain items, not so for others; just shop shop shop around

Really Morrisons are being very short sighted because these cut price Easter Eggs are Loss Leaders but if they sell them to people who buy nothing else Loss is the operative word.
