Food price hikes!!

clairk14

Went shopping today and some of my usual foods had gone up, not just by a couple of pence by mostly 25p more expensive!!

Eg. Tesco frozen Garlic Bread, sliced is now £1.25 instead of £1, but a frozen garlic bread baguette is still £1. Can't see how the former can suddenly incur such a rise.

Pure greed on Tesco's behalf. Is this so in 4 weeks time they can drop the price back down to £1 and shout about extraordinary value?!

No idea as I never set foot in the place.

Lying cheating con merchants with obnoxious staff !

I have to agree with shammyjack I never set foot in the place either. Have been overcharged so many times and the staff are really bad and unhelpful so haven't set foot in one for over a year now.

What do you mean 'still £1'? Tesco own brand frozen garlic baguette was 75p until not so long ago. (The equivalent still is 75p in ASDA.)

But yes, Tesco jacked up a lot of prices on own brand before Xmas.

Expect a big price drop promotion to make themselves cheaper than they were.

Yes I noticed how their prices have increased dramatically.. I go to Asda now , I find it a lot cheaper.

OH went to Tesco Express and bought a tin of soup. Went back the following night, noticed it had gone up 29p.

Some one on the value thread posted that Tesco value mushrooms had gone up to 1.25 - Sainsbury's SO organic chestnut mushrooms 250g cost that and atm are on offer to 22/01/13 at £1.

It's coming to something when Tesco value is as expensive as organic :eek:

Ocado promises to beat Tesco brand prices and so far for me they've only failed to do that once - and I got a voucher

Probably, it's been working for asda with their roll back prices for years.

Tesco organic chestnut mushrooms are £1.25 for 250g too, and no doubt will be on offer at £1 when sainsburys go back up.

The value mushrooms are 400g, so not a good comparison.

Well they have to make their money back on all those daft loyalty points they give you some how, don't they?

There's no such thing as free titties.

Lots of reduced fruit and veg about half an hour ago. Mushrooms 65p 250g (lidl last weekend was 42p for 350g)
Value plain 500g yogurt gone up to 65p from 55p. (Lidl still 55p, and Sains 59p)
Cottage Cheese now 65p was 59p. Pigs liver still at £1kg.
