Anybody still stocking tins of beans?

AQ hack in to the City and all electronic banking ceases. Tesco can't pay their suppliers who stop supplies (as if the trucks could run without paying for petrol which would not in any case be delivered to petrol stations.....) so shoppers find empty shelves (and couldn't pay for goods anyway) and the only people whos urvive are those with 80 tins of beans!

Hm, AQ couldn't find their **** with tomtom.

I prefer the one where the man met industrial placement student at Lloyds TSB accidently pressess the wrong button and pffft there goes the banking system.

At least 29P now tomterm, thats some mega inflation.

Perhaps it was demand outstripping supply? Hordes buying them up (after reading a certain thread on here last Xmas)...so Tesco slap up the price.

I get the supermarket, own brand, in packs of 4, reduced salt and sugar. When they're a few pennies reduced. They've shot up in price to £1.50 for 4. Last pack I bought though was £1.35.

One tin of beans does for 3 meals and I have 12 cans - should last awhile as it's not winter so not eating so many.

I always grab a stock of those. I've usually got 10-12 packs in the cupboard. One pack of curry noodles and half a tin of marrowfat peas makes a great lunch... and for an evening meal, something a little bit more special, a pack of curry noodles and half a tin of red kidney beans in chilli sauce (used to be 37p/can but they seem to have disappeared in my Tesco).

Tinned Green lentils, tinned tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, chilli powder and beef stock makes a brilliant soup and is really cheap.
