Price per calorie of various foods in tesco.

These are (mostly) the cheapest items in each category, as of a couple weeks ago or so, computed for my own use.

The £/2000kCal line at the end is a rough indication of how much it would take to live off that ingredient alone per day - £0.29 of rice, for example. It does _NOT_ count cost to cook that food, nor the fact that trying to live off a too reduced diet may cause severe health issues.

The firefox addon sort-on-tesco-by-price-weight I have found useful. First sort by price, as it will only sort what's on screen. It is a shame tesco dropped the public API.
