What to check before you buy
Check the bag weight and seal; resealed or underweight bags are common in open markets.
Granulated sugar is much cheaper per kg than cubes; buy cubes only for convenience.
Buying a bundle (e.g. 1kg x 10) from a wholesaler lowers the price per kilo.
Prices often rise before festive seasons, so stock up early if you can store sugar dry.
