THE EVIDENCE
Two streams, full price each
A plant-based main costs around £1.06 per person versus £1.77 for a meat equivalent — and a household buying both streams pays the full price of each, plus the small-pack premium for buying smaller amounts of more items.

ONE SMART SHOP
Combine the streams, keep the savings
SameTable threads one shopping list through every variant — sharing ingredients where your meal tracks overlap, so you’re not paying twice for the same onion, stock or spice mix.
- Shared ingredients bought once
- Grouped by aisle, de-duped
- Right quantities, less small-pack premium
