Another Tesco Massive Price Increase

Money_maker

Weetabix gone up at tescos. That should be on 'offer' in a few days then.

Not quite a price increase but....
Anyone else spot the Youngs Prawns now on offer at 50% off- they will set you back £2.50.
A week ago they were £3.50 at full price- no discount or anything! That would mean Tescos have added £1.50 to them and not actually ever sold them at that new price before reducing them to 50% off- is this allowed? are they not supposed to sell something for so many days before they are allowed to say "x% off"?

Price increases across the board for many companies. As if the petrol + mortgage squeeze wasn't enough, now inflation is hitting food even more

It still amazes me that the media hasnt picked up on the continued spiralling food prices, not to mention the dodgy up and down prices at Tesc, like the prawns in post 523 for example.
Then again the media is too busy whipping up hysteria about Jonathon Ross.

I kg value carrots up from 45p to 54p now 69p.

Soya mince up from 99p to £1.19 for a little while now.

i commented a couple of weeks ago how their swiss style muesli (not the value kind) had increased from 79p to £149 within 1 week

another person mentioned about their value muesli so i decided to go for that instead as it was priced at 49p - so i have been having that for the past couple of weeks and you cant taste the difference - now seen in tesco that it has gone up to 99p :eek:

the really naff thing i find is that within one day an item can go up by 100% in price and then 2 days later it comes back down to the original price that it was. :eek:

called tescos and they are goiing to look into the huge price increases and provide me with their explanations

I have noticed this too, did they get back to you?

Sorry haven't managed to read all the thread and this might have been posted already.:o Cat food was £2.99 (whiskas) for 6 BEFORE price hikes, went up to £3.06 DURING the price hikes and now that food is meant to be coming down in price it has gone UP to £3.37!!!!! :eek: This has made me really think and as I have 3 cats it is costing me a fortune. Didn't buy this brand last week and bought cheaper alternative, but guess what? Bl**dy damn fussy eaters won't touch it -so now I have 24 cans of Felix which they wont eat - argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hi Sue,

This went on Offer last night at £2.50 a box
'Saving of 80p' but only because they racked the price up beforehand.
I hadn't been planning to buy any but picked up a whole crate because that's still cheaper than the £2.99 it was before - just...
Hope this helps you
