The great Tesco / Pringles pricing saga

I don't understand the Pringles obsession. I hate them. They're processed potato powder (and several other things) and taste disgusting. Wherever you buy them from.

Moan over.

The same applies with Coca Cola. The pricing of certain products has always been erratic. Got ripped off in Coop last night, a 6 pack for £3.50. However I also got the fat till lady hacking Her smokers cough into her hand just as she scanned my shopping.

You didn't get ripped off, that's completely ridiculous.

They told you the price, you gave them the money.

Or you could just go to Aldi, and buy their version, which is 89p come rain or shine. (Although it is a smaller pack size.)

But they are not Pringles are they?

Why do Aldi, and the like, shoopers think that because something is designed to look like a quality product then it will also be as good, if not better, than that particular quality product?

Lidl own-brand "Pringles" are lovely and only 89p.

Sometimes, the cheaper lookalikes are better than the originals.

I'm not sure how well this translates from the Finnish, but it's a question of the taste, said the dog, as he licked his own balls.

Not well.

Could you try translating it from the start instead?

Because sometimes it is. I shop at Aldi every week.

I tried to get them past my daughter, she was having none of it :rotfl:

Then, unless she does the shopping, it would be the ' non of it' option in our house.
