Yes, they were 10p off then but now the price has shot up!

Almost £2 per can in Tesco for the last couple of weeks:eek:
I won't be buying it unless I find it on offer somewhere or the price goes back down.

Bought some in Asda a couple of years ago - Princes 3 pack for £1 (special offer). They're £4.98 now:eek:

Luckily I've still got a couple of years stock left.

I never buy the brand name tins they cost about half as much again and the tins are smaller.
I got 340g tins in Poundland for an undisclosed amount

Usually I'd agree but on this occasion 33(and a bit)p for a 340g tin was better than anything else going, branded or not.
I think I ended up buying about 100 tins!

wouldn't buy unbranded corned beef. Don't know what has gone into them, could be very fatty.
