    Can't find another thread on this:

    Tesco Canadian Frozen Lobsters are now reduced to £1.49 (were £13.99 originally!) - disappearing fast!!

    Tesco Finest Green Lipped Mussells are now 68p a pack, down from £2.00

  • I just had my Tesco shopping delivered and I managed to get a load of bottles of food colourings for my baking really cheap. Looks like maybe they're only going to sell natural colourings from now on as these aren't the natural ones. My local Tesco is Worcester, not sure which branch my shopping comes from. I got...

    Supercook Black food colouring 21p
    Supercook Vanilla Flavouring 11p
    Supercook Green colouring 13p
    Supercook Yellow colouring 8p

    I think the blue and red were redused too but I didn't need them. These sort of specialist cooking ingredients aren't usually this cheap, hope this is helpful.

    Note that if you can't find the Fruit and Nut or White Toblerones in Tesco (I couldn't :(), you can get them for £2 at Woolworth (Fathers' Day offer)...
    The ordinary ones were £1.xx, but the fruit and nut ones were going thru at 41p. If they have changed the price, it is just as well that I had it scanned first, as there was no sel up at all, so I wouldn't have got DTD.
    But well done :T

    Looks like quite a bit of the Supercook range is reduced - I'm sure the tubes of ready-mixed coloured icing and the mini marshmallows are cheaper than usual too.

    This was one of the rash of misprices at last week's offer changeovers - quite a few of the reductions and new prices were the wrong way round - the Toblerones were supposed to be 41p off.

    That is not correct - the fruit and nut version was scanning at 41p because it shares a barcode with the Valentines branded version which went to 41p as part of the reduce to clear policy after Feb 14. Stores put it on sale before the system had been updated with the correct price. So it got sold at 75% off the current selling price (£1:64, half price). Fathers day was due to be on sale for 8am Monday, but as the flowers and plants sold through stores got ahead of the game and started getting the Dad stuff out early. The price change went through Sunday night in time for Monday morning...

    Stupid really, but there ya go. Cheapo chocolate all because someone did not tick the right box on a computer screen early enough.

    All the food colourings are going for pence in Asda, too , I noticed. Maybe it is because they are changing over to more natural ingredients then.
