Pricewatch

Sir, – We note Conor Pope's excellent article advising readers on how to save €5,000 per year by making certain adjustments in regard to shopping and the avoidance of food waste ("The five-grand challenge", November 3rd).

In this same context, smokers could consider quitting. The annual saving or the 20-a-day smoker who manages to quit is €3,650 a year at current prices. – Yours, etc,
