Is it just me or are Netto getting expensive?

Hi

I usually shop in Netto for the main shop and then get the offers from Farm Foods (bread etc) and Home Bargains (toiletries etc). This is when I am in money saving mode.

Otherwise I use Asda/Morrisons/Tescos when I don't fancy Netto again or if I happen to be nearer them when out and about.

When I was going round Netto today I noticed that lots of things that were dirt cheap seem a bit expensive now. Nothing I could put my finger on but in general I thought things were "pricey".

It could be that other supermarkets are reducing their prices or have special offers that beat Netto prices.

Also there seemed to be an awful lot of non food items in store with very little food items.

Has anyone else found this or is it just me? Perhaps I am just getting used to Netto or is it losing its shine.

    netto is the nearest thing i have to a corner shop, we have tesco express but its useless. the prices on some things are consistent with in between white label brands and at the expensive end, shops own. for example the soap powder is more than smart price costs. the wine is cheap if you get a weekly special
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
