    The Lidl 24 pkts are now £2.15, they put them up a couple of weeks ago. The Aldi ones are still £1.99 though.
    :eek: That is some price increase. Are they on special again? 2 for £4, they put them up last time they did that offer.
    I don't tend to buy crisps too often.
    £36/£240

    Yeah there not shy, but they are on offer. Though i don't like to buy two lots as my kids will eat them double quick. I have tried hiding them before but they found them !!.
  • we were looking for these on saturday when we went shopping but apparently they are stopping them. I hope they start to do them again but they werent in any of the 3 tescos i visited.

    Asked in Sainsburys today on the customer service desk, looking it up she said there is no supply issues, but no date when they will have another delivery of them so she would pass on my query to the dept.

    I'll ask in Tesco tomorrow see what they say.

    None in my local Tesco either, and I only like the ready salted variety whcih they ahve even less often than the multi-flavour packing. In my local there was an Out of Stock label with expected stock this week, so I'll probably pop in and check wether they've come in or not. Then again, if I'm not buying them I'm not eating them, and that can only be a good thing...

    I managed to get some in Asda the other day. Just the basic ones that have ready salted/salt and vinegar/cheese and onion.

    We have struggled recently to get the in Tesco and asda recently, but no issues in Morrisons. Got quite a few bags out of there recently.

    ...I have not tried basic crisps but Lidl £1.99 for 24pkts are better than walkers...

    Last multipack of meat flavoured crisps I bought from Lidl were revolting, the roast chicken flavour ones were like eating cardboard.:eek: I couldn't take them back as we were on holiday at the time. I've bought Aldi ones since which were OK but you really can't beat Walkers IMO.
