  • I had certainly noticed that the last lot i bought tasted of absolutely nothing, and didnt cook very well at all. wont be bothering from there again! even more so if they keep messing with the prices like that!

    Clothes Golden Rule: Never pay full price unless it is an utter bargain in the first place!
    Sales, boots, charity shops, ebay- why would anyone ever pay full price for anything??!

    And you've only noticed this on potatoes
    The only thing that is constant is change.

    been same 99p price at my local store for a while not that I will be buying again as last couple times least 30 percent were brown inside once peeled so false economy best off paying 30 percent more to get veg that I can actually use
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.
  • Every time I have bought any type of potatoes from tesco they have been black or brown inside, will never buy potatoes from them again xx

    I only buy them if i cant get any of the finest potatoes for £1 or the bakers for 50p. Ive got a bag in the fridge and I agree, they dont look great. Plus they are a very odd size, guess thats why thy are value. I do notice the price change but tesco do tend to do this on a lot of products.
