On offer in Tesco today. Wiltshire cure back bacon, "£1.99 per pack. 2 for
£4."

I've seen similar things in Asda, the Co-op and other places. For
example, a larger pack with a shelf label saying "bigger pack, better
value" but which worked out more expensive than buying the product in
smaller packs.

It is often the case. Tea bags, in particular, are often cheapest in the
medium size box.
