Sugar Prices In Tesco

icon13.gif Can somebody tell me why a 2.2kg bag of sugar has suddenly shot up to 93p at Tesco but I can buy it in the ex Hypa value shop for 69p?

    Perhaps Hypa are just selling cheap sugar as a sweetener to get you in their store?

    To the OP
    Do you mean the 1kg bag?

    Yes sorry, still trying to get to grips with this metric - my brains still in imperial. I think I have a site called confused.com!
  • Welshlil - I've read that there's been an increase in world sugar prices due to India lifting import duties (general election pending) thus creating a bigger demand, hence prices going up. Even so, Mr. T's are too expensive. See articles in ft.com under commodities.
    Hope this helps.

  • Seemed that my Heinz Soup shot up from 55p to 85p the other week. Freda resisted the temptations.

    last week it was 85p, buy 2, get 1 free.

    I would wait and see what price tthe sugar is in a few days
