    The next item is 250g of Tesco Jelly Beans, they started selling them a few months back for 63p, bought 2 packets, few weeks later I went for some more and the price had gone up to £83 so I only bought 1 packet.

    I wouldn't have bought any at that price :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Don't forget the free solid gold coin

    The OP probs bought it for the clubcard points then promptly returned the item.

    I know people on customer services who make a point of removing the points from the card

    Does anybody else get the impression that behind the"Britain's biggest discounter" tagline from Tesco, lies a hidden agenda to slowly cut back on "Value" label items, especially as I get the feeling that most of these new brands have probably appeared in Value packaging up until now; thus the effect is actually to push up people's bills anyway, by simply doing away with the cheapest option

    Shouldn't you know if you're a Tesco whistle blower!

    Tescowhilstleblower either means you got sacked, or thought it was too much like hard work!
