I think that's why most people use granulated sugar to keep costs down .

By the time cane or beet has been boiled and rectified into the white granulated stuff, I doubt that anyone but a Waitrose Ponce would claim to find a difference. ;D
And they would be trying to convince themselves..............

It is no accident that with the abolishment of slavery money was spent producing a beet sugar that tasted the same, which could be grown nearer to home.

Of course Waitrose yeast won't work with beet sugar. :o

I buy the 15 x 1kg bags from Costco, can’t remember the exact price but it works out about 48p per kilo.

Strange at Costco, you can also buy 5kg bags and 25kg sacks, but it works out cheapest to buy the pack with 15 x 1kg bags in it!!
