It's also true that when prices fall they fall slowly and to a much lesser extent than the price of the raw material falls - which is perhaps fair enough.
It is frustrating though and I'm surprised more supermarkets aren't offering money off petrol after a £40 shop or whatever. Few of us are loyal to supermarkets and it's the kind of thing that would probably work if well advertised/
