    I think tescos are putting lots of prices up......this is just one....Im no longer shopping there as Iv noticed week by week how prices are doubling.....on the point of marmite you love it or hate it....I love it and have it in gravy,mince,stew come to think of it everything....yummy and marmite crisps well they are divine............
    I read marmite chips by mistake and thought Ooo I fancy that, I was about to ask you for a recipe and noticed you said crisps :rolleyes:

    So then I thought, why not marmite chips anyway and found this!

    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    They also put the frosted flakes 750g up from £1.48 to £2.49!! Tescos are RAPIDLY losing my custom with their subtle and not so subtle price hikes!

    Tesco lost my custom on the xmas shop when they blatently upped most of the prices............. I've since discovered the joys of Morrisons now so stuff Tesco for good - I hope Terry Leahey loses his uber-empire with more people voting with their feet -it's waay to big and starting to take the michael in my opinion........:mad:

    :eek: You poor, poor, misguided soul! Marmite is wonderful:smileyhea

    Or you can go one better and have Bovril (if you're not vegetarian), it's great on toast :)

    Nah, I'm a veggie:D

    I used to eat Bovril sarnies when I was little and I remember liking them, but I still don't think that Bovril can come close to Marmite.....and as for that awful Veggimite stuff (insert bleurgh smilie here)

    I've always though of Bovril as "Mans Marmite"

    I cant stand Marmite but love bovril on toast! :rotfl:
    Missing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently! ;)
  • Try a marmite and banana sandwich it's just gorgeous.
