hoping others dont copy but big 4seem to be pricefixing their value lines.

.

I think so too. Basics/Value baby wipes all same price, 46p.
And lots of other items that are not value lines, same price in big 4.

theres going to be reasons for the price increases,

Yes, the public have been conditioned into accepting price increases. From utilities, car insurance, petrol prices to food prices etc. This is why they can put up prices willy nilly even when the justification for them has long since vanished and if anyone mentions 'competition' lowering prices you have to remember that these companies realise that if they start a 'real' price war then that will only reduce profits for them. Instead they are engaged in phoney sales tactics with each other which means they can milking the public dry.

They can only go so far with that. Many people just dont have the money to pay extra so you cut back, go for unbranded stuff etc

No wonder many businesses are going under by time we paid for our food, rent or mortgage, fuel, heating etc there is very little left for luxuries like holidays or treats

I accept commodities have gone up in recent times but it doesn't make it right nor much we can do about it other than economise but you can only economise so far

What intrigues me is

I only notice rises in things I buy mostly value or own brand.
Wonder if their premuim rises are staying same too? ie tesco finest?
what would be interesting is site like my supermarket that does not tell you what current price is but may tracks the price of item over 6months or a year so customers can see.

I feel annoyed that if customer has downshifted to their value range and they steep increases of over 50%on value lines like wipes 17p last jan!46p now..does feel like we getting rough deal.

some areas theres little choice of shopping around.for elderly people or when you have young kids finding time to go round everywhere getting best price can be hard.


I do hate tesco the most but think the others can be just as bad.

One tactic I like is to try and use pound shops and Mr A where possible for things that can be stored; eg. Ryvitas were 59p for a box or two for 99p in a 99p shop, and one box is 90p in Mr T! I hate how Mr T's fruit & veg is a rip-off, market all the way (at the end of trading day).

If you have time shop at some of the value shops you really can get some good bargains there. Like Heron for frozen food and other food, Home bargains, Poundland etc I dont go in them often but when I do I stock up mainly none food items
