How much do you pay for Strong White Flour?

I have just done an ASDA online shop and am reeling!!

On Wednesday (9th April) I had a delivery from ASDA and got a couple of 1.5kg own brand strong white flour at 48p each. I have just gone to put them in my basket and they have gone up to 75p eachspeechless-smiley-040.gif Thats a price rise of 30p in 3 daysspeechless-smiley-040.gif

I know that prices are supposed to be rising, but even so!!

I'm now going to be shopping around to see how much others charge - I have a vague memory of LIDL selling it?

So, how much do you pay where you shop?

    I bought strong flour from Lidl today - 48p and I saw it in Asda for 48p too

    I think they have priced yours for own brand rather than value/smart price

    AFAIK there is no smartprice strong white flour, only Asda brand, which as others said was still 48p

    Maybe they priced for Hovis or something? But that is dearer still I think

    Yes, sorry, you are right, I got mixed up
    I have just checked my recieiept and the website. I paid 48p for Asda flour (in the blue bag) in store but it is 75p on the website so go in store and get it quick!

    I was in ASDA yesterday and they didn't have any in :( They must have been running it down before repricing.

    Thanks for the replies - I will be sure to look in our local LIDL tomorrow. If they don't have any then Tesco are still showing at 48p online, so I may take a little drive up there and stock up.

    I went into the next towns Tesco (I was going past, anyway), and popped in. They have their own brand flour for 48p, so I bought enough to keep us going for a couple of weeks :D

    I do hope that ASDA have made a mistake online, but I think that is probably not the case:(
