OMG! Those look like the books the little old ladies used to take out in droves when I worked in the library. They had various ranges, a pink one, a light green one, a light blue one. The red range were locked away in the stock room because they were deemed far too rudey dudey. LOL.

tweets - watch your back, I'm coming to get you. ;);)

I have arrived at the terminus and got nowhere to go only had one tricky level in those new ones

Let's hope Bird's Eye Crispy Chickens don't go onto any glitch:rotfl:. Stocking up there before Ts increase the price again soon - expires 19/5 but me now going shopping even earlier as T keep changing their website too early and affecting msm.

A increasing the price from £1.00 to £1.68. I thought they were still at £1.00 - they were last time I got just one pack (dividing purchases up there to get 8 items onto each shop;)). I wondered why they weren't in the £1 fridge at the end but only down the aisle. Shows how much attention I pay to the prices in the store I'm actually buying at:rotfl: - only noticed when I got home:o - :doh:that's why I had to get a further APG out to pay the bill.

Good really though, as helping me to use a few bigger vouchers I've had of late. I should have checked the shelving to see if this was an overcharging - but pretty sure they were £1.68 on the shelf (not that I was paying much attention to it).

I reckon there is some tactical pricing happening on the Crispy Chickens. If they are 'to be 10% cheaper', that does not mean that if somewhere else is cheaper they need to reduce their price and be 10% cheaper. On the contrary - they probably don't want anyone to have those Crispy Chickens at about 76p a pack (10% cheaper than T's current 84p price) as that may be selling them below cost price. A's normal offer (their 'low' floor-point pricing) on them is the expensive round pound price.

So - this is what happens:

Birds Eye Southern Fried Chicken (2 per pack - 180g)
A £1.00
T £1.69
More than 10% cheaper!:rotfl:

Birds Eye Light & Crunchy Breaded Chicken (2 per pack -180g)
A £1.00
N/A at T, so doesn't matter as no 10% cheaper amount due on it.
M £1.69 - A more than 10% cheaper!

Birds Eye Chicken Chargrills Peri Peri (2 per pack - 170g)
A £1.00
T £1.69
More than 10% cheaper:D

Birds Eye Chicken Chargrills Sticky & Sweet BBQ (2 per pack - 174g)
A £1.00
T £1.69
Over 10% cheaper!

Birds Eye Crispy Chicken (2 per pack - 170:eek:g)
A Were £1.00. We don't want anyone buying these ones as T is 84p (quite a rare low it seems to me) and 10% cheaper would make them about 76p - we don't want people to be getting them at that price. Must increase price, to discourage shoppers from buying them. Now £1.68 (and keep the other ones at £1 and leave them in the gondolas on the end as people notice them more and will buy them instead)
T 84p

I wasn't having any of it - I had my comp. vs T and went for the more expensive cheapest ones:D:rotfl::rotfl::beer::j.

Of course, though, it's also a 'win' for A as I'm very happy with my Crispy Chickens despite their price increase in the store as the APG kicks in. And others are happy with their £1 other Bird's Eye chickens as they can see the Crispy Chicken ones at £1.68 and therefore are not being ripped off by them!
