Olympiad: best buys and change at the till ★★★, sentence 1
The golden rule of a best buy is to compare the same amount: four juice cartons of 250 ml at 40p make a litre for £1.60, while the 1 litre bottle is £1.50 - the bottle wins, and the giant 2 litre bottle at £3.20 does not.
Who acts: golden rule, bottle, best buy · What happens: be, make, win, not do, rule · To what, where: litre
