That's the Way the Money Goes: 3: Food for Thought?

on BBC Two England

A series of ten programmes for everyone who spends money on goods or services.

Selling short weight is only one sort of sharp practice which the law forbids. Paul and Cathy meet an awful grocer who breaks the law five times in three minutes. Later they get confused over supermarket labelling.

Brian Redhead asks what do you do if you've been the victim of sharp practice, with legal interpretation from David Tench of Consumers' Association.
Sue Cook looks at getting value for money when doing the weekly shopping.
