Quite a cherry pick. Waitrose is a high end supermarket where as Tesco is not. It's why you can only find them in the richest towns in the country.

Having eaten both 85p ready meals and £4+ ones, the products are clearly not the same either.

Not really. Sainsbury's also do a £4 lasagne and Tesco also have a premium version which I expect is about the same price.

I wasn't implying the versions are the same, merely highlighting that comparing the cost of random items is somewhat nuanced.
