Asda 5kg Charcol Briquettes Rip Off

stamford

Two weeks ago (and for the last couple of years) £2.47 - today £2.97. A 20% price hike - I don't think the world price has gone through the roof or there been a stealth tax imposed.

Asda make all the noise in the world about rolling back prices but they are very quiet about ramping them up

go to aldi instead, they were selling big bags of charcoal briquettes for £1.99 last time I was there (about 2 weeks ago)

Spot on I have done on my travels in the past but there's not one locally. Aldi are obviously satisfied with the mark up they make at the £1.99 selling price

Have you got a home bargains near you? They also do bbq stuff very reasonable and I've seen charcoal in Lidl before too, but not sure of the price.
