I found this thread googling for advice on accounting for supermarket food receipts.
Might be a dumb question but I'm putting in expenses for meals while freelancing. I go to Sainsburys and get a meal deal. The fruit juice and crisps are marked with an asterisk to show there is VAT, and the sandwich doesn't. The total is £6.25, but the meal deal discount takes it down to £3. If it was all VATable or there was no discount I'd normally put in one receipt for the VAT items, and another with the non-vat, so we reclaim the correct amount. But i'm baffled about how to account for the discount on the total.
