Download or read book Supermarket Own Brand Guide written by Martin Isark and published by Mitchell Beazley. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booming sector of the own-branded label market continues to grow and this can be a minefield for the consumer. Martin Isark has the perfect solution with this new guide that tells the supermarket brand buyer how to choose between the vast range of brands that exist today. The book is divided into twenty-three sections and each includes between five and fifteen core products. The leading consumer brand name is included as a control and then the products are compared by supermarket own label. There are ten supermarkets in total, but not every product will have an own-label from each supermarket. The listings include a tasting note from the author and score based on quality and value for money, plus the normal retail price and weight. Useful consumer health information (e.g. salt, sugar, fat, RDA, vitamin content, caffeine, alcohol, plus vegan and coeliacs information) is also featured throughout the book.

Download or read book A Guide to the Systems of Provision Approach written by Kate Bayliss and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding consumption requires looking at the systems by which goods and services are provided – not just how they are produced but the historically evolved structures, power relations and cultures within which they are located. The Systems of Provision approach provides an interdisciplinary framework for unpacking these complex issues. This book provides a comprehensive account of the Systems of Provision approach, setting out core concepts and theoretical origins alongside numerous case studies. The book combines fresh understandings of everyday consumption using examples from food, housing, and water, with implications for society’s major challenges, including inequality, climate change, and prospects for capitalism. Readers do not require prior knowledge across the subject matter covered but the text remains significant for accomplished researchers and policymakers, especially those interested in the messy real world realities underpinning who gets what, how, and why across public and private provision in global, national, and historical contexts.

Download or read book Your Best Friend s Guide to Cash written by Kara Gammell and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You might be on 'the right side of 40', and yet, financially you feel about fourteen. By now, you should be rolling in the dough, but it feels like you're drowning in debt. This isn't how being "a grown up" was supposed to be. How will you ever get on the property ladder if you can't even make more than the minimum payment on your credit card? Will you live like a pauper when you're old and grey because student loans and sky-high rents mean you can't afford to pay into a pension? One thing is for sure, money may not buy you happiness, but from where you're standing, it sure could buy you a few things that would put a smile on your face - a flat would be nice come to think of it. So what are you going to do about it? Do you want to spend your life in financial turmoil? When Kara Gammell first came to the UK from her native Canada at 23, financially, she was a disaster. After five years of fun at uni, she couldn't manage being paid monthly, certainly didn't know what an overdraft was (or why the cashpoint swallowed her debit card) and at one point was so skint she actually cashed in her Oyster card for the £2 deposit. But Kara took control of her money and turned her cash crisis around. By the age of 28, she was out of an overdraft, had become an award-winning financial journalist and became a homeowner (independent of the bank of mum and dad to boot) - but most importantly, she was no longer living life on the breadline or on the brink of a financial disaster. In this practical and witty guide, Kara explains how whether you are struggling to make ends meet or trying to buy your first home - taking control of your finances can change your life. With clear and straightforward advice on everything from cutting credit card debt to getting more from your money at the supermarket, Kara shares her tried and tested tips so that you have all you need to get it right - the first time. Kara soon learned from her mistakes, and now you can too.

He goes on to examine in detail the key danger areas including finance, product quality, health and safety, security and the environment.

Download or read book Waste written by Kate O'Neill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waste is one of the planet’s last great resource frontiers. From furniture made from up-cycled wood to gold extracted from computer circuit boards, artisans and multinational corporations alike are finding ways to profit from waste while diverting materials from overcrowded landfills. Yet beyond these benefits, this “new” resource still poses serious risks to human health and the environment. In this unique book, Kate O’Neill traces the emergence of the global political economy of wastes over the past two decades. She explains how the emergence of waste governance initiatives and mechanisms can help us deal with both the risks and the opportunities associated with the hundreds of millions – possibly billions – of tons of waste we generate each year. Drawing on a range of fascinating case studies to develop her arguments, including China’s role as the primary recipient of recyclable plastics and scrap paper from the Western world, “Zero-Waste” initiatives, the emergence of transnational waste-pickers’ alliances, and alternatives for managing growing volumes of electronic and food wastes, O’Neill shows how waste can be a risk, a resource, and even a livelihood, with implications for governance at local, national, and global levels.
