PriceBusters Competition

On each programme, viewers were challenged to find the cheapest and most expensive prices for a given product throughout the country. Two winners each week (one finding each extreme price) would win a boom-box stereo. Bill Bennett won the competition two weeks running, by finding the most expensive prices for the given products, and including Tesco.com's grocery delivery charge of £5. This made the cost of a Müller Rice around £5.40, much more expensive than prices found by any other entrant. Following the two consecutive wins, the rules were changed to omit delivery charges from the total cost for a particular product.
