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.

Could i suggest you look at the organic wholewheat pasta as it costs 84p for 500g of penne.

m&s is cheaper than tesco and better quality.

tesco for me is now a NO- NO unless deals.

Ok I think I've found the ultimate Tesco ripoff price - I know they are expensive and I hate them but they still managed to genuinely shock me with this one:

340g of sun pat peanut butter for almost THREE POUNDS!!

That's more than 4 times more expensive than Asda's own brand (700g for £1.48). And double anyone else's price (even Waitrose!)

That's a shocking price for peanut butter. I've just checked the link and tried tesco.com but unfortunatly you need to be a member first.

At £3 does this mean there will be an offer at 70% off to make it an offer.

After looking around I bought 3 jars of Asda's own peanut butter at £1.48. I stopped buying it for a while thinking everywhere was the same price as Tesco!

Price in the link is now 1.57. I only ever buy Lidl's Peanut butter, but even that is now 99p!

Tesco's seemed to stop doing own brand peanut butter - the last 2 stores I've been in have ONLY had Sun Pat & Whole Earth (and they both used to carry Tesco brand PB). Total con.

I've been in 6 Tesco's in Kent with no own brand p/b, I buy Asda's big jar now too.
Nothing beats Tesco putting up the price of sunflower seeds from 45p to £3.11 :eek: I only buy reduced to clear or sale items from Tesco's now.

I'm pretty sure sunflower seeds in the world foods section are much cheaper than £3.11 because I made a note to get them from there. Hope that helps.
