Harvesting in my garden has started, lots more next few months, so English grown should be coming DOWN soon.

Is there a seasonal fluctuation in the price of fresh produce? I wonder. :think:

Don't let common sense get in the way of a hysterical rant when something increases in price by 10p now will you :cool:

Tesco water up from 17p to 24p. Left it on the shelves. Headed to Asda. I know it's hot but don't stick the arm in.:mad:

But surely driving from Tesco to Asda cost you more than 7p. I know it is a big percentage increase but still.

You'd have thought so but I'm not holding my breath!

I read today that farmers are dumping tenderstem broccoli as they have produced more (due to weather) than there's a market for. Amazing!

I remember when Woolworths or the Co-op would have huge heaps of runner beans and broad beans in season and you could buy a carrier bag full very cheaply. These days you seem to get a measly 10 beans or so pre-packed for a crazy price.

Try the market for veg very cheap and quantities like you used to receive before Tescos took over - I have never shopped there since they stopped taking all-comers coupons.

When items go up by 25p just don't buy them then they will go down again!

Tesco have increased the price of 2 litre bottles of Everyday Value cola and water by 41% to take advantage of the hot weather according to the Guardian.

Is it me or has non-brand ice-cream also risen?

May just be because I've been buying by the gallon for the last three weeks and paying special attention to the price

yes will be a 50p off offer in a month for £1 probably.

I brought some chicken filletsfrom tesco last week, it was on offer at £3 usually £7.50. I thought with a normal price of £7.50 I would be getting quite a large bag. The shock when it arrived, 4 peices of meat. Thats almost £2 each, I think KFC is cheaper.
