Another Tesco Massive Price Increase

tiff

Probably a matter of time before they go up as well. I bought Asda Smart Price oats this morning 1 kg for 58p. Also bought 10 lots of butter at 47p each (down from 84p).

Did I see the veg that used to be 2 for £1.50 has now gone up to £2?

Never thought I'd see the day but I geuinely feel Tesco are getting a bit desparate. Only time I've ever really shopped there is when they had no-brainer offers on their clubcard vouchers. Last time was a few months ago when, by being a bit crafty by ordering lager I knew woudl be OOS, I got a total of £180 worth of deals for a total outlay on beer of £80 (spread across 4 orders). Will pay for another weekend at The Hilton, lol. Haven't touched them since cos their 'ordinary' prices are ridiculous.

I got an email from them other day offering £6 off a £60 spend online. Wrote back saying I don't shop there any more as they are just too expensive and, no offence, but offering £6 off a £60 spend aint gonna tempt me back. Here's the reply I got:

Dear Mr ********,

Thank you for your email.

I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with our prices, I can understand how disappointing this would be for you.

If you do change your mind, then this ecoupon for £6 off £60 off online shopping is valid until 15th March. If you were receive an order on or before this date, please get back in contact with me and I would be happy to refund the Service Charge on your next order, as a gesture of goodwill.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about this.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us at customer.service@tesco.co.uk quoting ************.

Kind Regards

I buy the skimmed milk in a carton from Farmfoods for 39p a litre and it tastes no different than bottled skimmed milk.

I was casually complaining to the CS at the till on the weekend about how the prices on some items had gone up drastically recently and she said, and I quote, 'management are doing their best to make up for all the items that have been reduced to £1' :eek: . Shame on Mr T :eek:

absolutely fuming at Mr T over the weekend.

Wholewheat fusilli twists (500g) used to be around 70-75p. Now they are priced at a whopping £1.39!!!!!!!!

went to Morrison's and got them for 68p. Hmph. I am officially finished with Tesco. ASDA is equally as near as us and I've started shopping there more and more.

Thanks for pointing that out, those are the ones I normally buy, but I'm popping to Asda tomorrow, so I'll see how much theirs are.

Is it wrong to sometimes dilute whole milk with water to put on cereal if i'm on a diet, instead of buying skimmed milk?

I'm not always such a cheapskate though, usually buy 1% fat milk (orange top) from Sainsburys for £1/2L

In Farm Foods it is only £1 for 4 pints - over 50% savings on Tesco prices.:eek:

Its also 2 litres at Farmfoods , not 4 pints

The only 4pint for £1 i know of is Sainsburys 0.1% Milk, we have been buying this for quite a while

No problem with that whatsoever, although I would dilute down semi-skimmed instead of full fat if you are looking for a 'skimmed' result. I do it all the time with the full fat milk that the kids have and they never, ever know! sssshhhh!!:shhh:
