Tesco is one of the worst offenders, an investigation by The Sun found.

It claims families save a fiver if they buy two bottles of Garnier Ambre Solaire Protection Lotion SPF 15 for £12 — because one bottle is £8.50.

But at Morrisons a single bottle is £5 — so two are just a tenner.

Tesco also charges £8.50 for 200ml of Nivea Sun Protect &; Moisture Moisturising Sun Spray 30 High but will sell you two for £9.

A single bottle at Iceland is £3.99.

At M&S Nivea sun lotion for babies is £7 — marked down from £14.

It is £6 in Morrisons.
