Sainsbury's Pricing Boob on Douwe Egberts Coffee

Posts: 14,426 Forumite
I was in my local Sainsbury's today and needed some of my favourite Douwe Egberts Pure Gold coffee, when I can afford it I buy a large 200g jar for £5.17 but I noticed that they had made a bit of a boob with their pricing.
They are selling 100g jars for £1.99 - I cleared the shelf (only 7 jars) because 2 100g jars are £3.98 - whereas the 200g jar is £5.17 so you are getting the same amount for less money saving yourself £1.19:j

My mum loves this stuff! She stocks up when it's BOFOF somewhere. She had 30 jars in the garage last time I was there! She can't bare to throw the jars away, though, so she gives them to me, or if I don't need any, she put them in a box outside with a sign saying 'free to a good home' and they always go within a few days.
I could do with some of the smaller jars to keep my 'posh' coffee in, so may get some of these-thanks!Cross Stitch Cafe Monthly Challenge Member #27

was it a normal price eg no special offer0 -
I think the boob is probably the price of the 200g jar, even £1.99 for 100g sounds mighty expensive to me!0
