    I wish Tesco would make it's mind up how much the Value shortbread is! 30p today in my local store. It has been 13p for a few weeks then went missing and has returned at 30p!!

    Prices change, that is a market economy.
    I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.-David Niven

    The prices of their value stuff have been going up and down like yoyos lately :(
    The shortbread for example, was always 12p, then it went up to £1.29!!! Which I think was an error for a short while, but then it went to 29p, then back down to 13p, now back to 30p, I wish they'd make their minds up!
    The fromage frais are another example, I was buying these for a couple of weeks at 20p but they are now 45p!!
    I think on a basic level it's to do with how many people are buying the products etc, but I wish they wouldn't fluctuate the prices quite so much!

    I love Marmite, so much so that I eat it off the spoon - YUMMY
    I went into Tesco tonight to replace my stock to find the craziest price hike ever.
    I used to pay £4.40 for a 500g jar but tonight it is £5.09 :eek:
    Anybody have any idea why?
    Many thanks
