Tin tomatoes & cucumbers !!!!!!!!!

roberta-lee

is it just me?
Buy your cucumber in the reduced section,late in the day - 30p a half last time i bought one, and use it quick!
Also tinned toms - Sainsburys basics, jazzed up with Reggae Reggae Sauce are the biz!
I never buy branded tinned tomatoes or ketchup these days - bsics only.
Although - ketchup, Sainsburys basics glass bottle was 19p when we first started buying it, now is 33p. Thats 70% increase. how is it possible.
Imagine 70% increase on premium items - scary thought isn't it!

I think Sainsburys are putting a lot of their prices up just now. I went today to get a tin of John West tuna in mayo with sweetcorn and it had gone up from 72p to £1. That surely can't be blamed on tuna being out of season?!

The "money saving" aspect is in the advice to buy seasonal vegetables.

If you fear they will not reduce down in price by the summer, the "money saving" advice would be to learn now how to grow your own during the summer.

By using those two pieces of "money saving" advice, you won't need to get "wind up".

I do buy seasonal until such times as i find unreasonable prices.
I cant grow my own living in a flat with no garden.
Using your so called PATRONISING 'advice' will not stop me, and hundreds of others posting details and discussing outrageous price rises, from getting wound up.
You may be happy about the rises, most on here arent.

Sorry if you thought my opinions were "patronsing", that wasn't intentional.

If an item rises in price to a point I find it unreasonable, I simply don't buy it. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

Salad toms are 37p for 4 in ASDA - fine for cooking and cheaper than tins.
