If you've got an Asda near you, they've got the Good As It Looks Felix pouches on offer atm. Two boxes for £6.

If you have a Scottish Coop (or maybe other Coop ?) they are doing the Felix Roasted 2 for £6 just now.

I have stopped doing my weekly shop at Tescos as i find them very expensive now. Can't give you any specific examples,but as other posters have said,alot of the value lines have either disappeared or gone up a hell of alot in price. I have now gone back to Sainsburys as i find their own brand and value lines alot more reasonable. I never thought that i would say that as Tesco used to be alot cheaper than Sainsburys,but it now seems to be the other way round. Occasionally i do shop at Morrisons as they also do good offers. I wish i lived near to Asda as i would probably shift over to them!

On several occasions recently I have noticed shop assistants going along the isles changing the price tags, although I must admit I didn't take much notice of what they were actually until I read this Thread. I will certainly keep my eyes open from now on.

Hi.
I noticed this as well at our local Tesco, I always used to buy the light option, but not any longer.
I don't know how they can justify this

Couldn't believe my eyes on Tuesday! Tesco coffee whitener (not Light) was £1.69!! Two weeks ago it was £1.23!! Are they really allowed to do this?

eMail Chief Executive Sir Terry Leahy, and ask him to justify this price hike

Asda are still Marvel branded light and normal coffee whitener for £1.57. I'm sure I bought mine the other week for £1.20ish

I can't remember if I've already said about the Value fish fingers coming in a smaller pack--they were in 16's now back to 10 but of course the price hasn't dropped.
Value sausage rolls [frozen] have gone up 15p in a week. I'm trying to work out the percentage but it's been a v-e-r-y long time since I had to do formula at school
Am I right in thinking cost was 85p so [8.5p=10% > 0.85p=1%] the rise is a smidge over 17.6%.
What are they trying to do--reclaim the VAT they've (not) lost on other stuff perhaps?

I buy coffee-mate light and Sainsbury's were 40p cheaper than Tesco + Asda, which were same, however last week I noticed that it had gone up to price match.

I also noticed all the non-standard stuff, like own brand sprays, etc. is going up and up by 20 - 50p a go!

Has anbody else notice these sort of rises?
