Sneaky 'forward rolls' - Asda prices

Kazonline

I'm posting this on here as I know quite a few OSers keep info on various prices (I think I should start too) and hopefully someone will know for sure.
Over the past couple of weeks on a few occasions I've thought that the odd price in Asda has suddenly shot up - or is it just my bad memory?
The most noticeable was lean minced beef (was under £2 for 500g, now over £3 for same) and today the bacon pieces (sure they were about 75p last time, today were 98p) The milk was £1 per 4pints (I'm sure it was marked as a 'rollback') and now is about £1.20 per 4pints. I thought 'rollback' meant 'permanently low prices' not temporary price cuts???

Is it me getting confused or has anyone else spotted the same?

Personally I wish that there was some sort of ruling that would make supermarkets HIGHLIGHT any price increases - perhaps they'd be a bit slower to increase their prices....

All the Tescos in Plymouth have put their milk up to £1.11, it was about £1.04/1.05 the other day!!!!! I thought the same thing as you Kaz, a sneaky price rise!!!!

Tesco have also played a mean trick with their petrol prices near me (see my post at http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=2492202#post2492202)

Blimey twink! that was one big price jump! In my pre kefir days that would've really hit my shopping bill as we used loads. Luckily now I have kefir taking over my fridge!

I noticed Tesco's bargain bacon has gone from 70 odd p to 98p a packet. Maybe its the time of year for them all to put prices up?

This is really interesting. I usually have my shopping delivered from Tescos and have noticed that their prices have been creeping up. I'd had enough the last time they delivered, so I thought I'd try going to Asda - and I managed to blow the budget!
