The halving of the Britannia beef dripping pack size is due to the manufacturer.

From a reply to an enquiry to Princes, "... Britannia Dripping is now being produced in 250g packs. [FONT=&quot]The pack size has been reformulated based on ... consumers' feedback." [/FONT]

Or they'll announce a rollback and drop 50p off and state how they're always lowering prices.

What's the word for inflation before a rollback? Sleight of hand? Sleight off pound?

To be fair asda are quite reasonable. Only place were you can get decent plant pots for cheap. Even b&q are more expensive than asda on the 3" plant pots

Asda didn't have Rollbacks before Walmart bought them: it's an American idea brought over here to (supposedly) save shoppers money.

I'm wondering what dripping is but hope you can find a decent size/price combination:cool:

It's a kind of cooking fat (I think, I don't use it myself).

I went into Asda yesterday to get a packet of their Bran Flakes £1.38 I was just about to walk off when i saw the shelf price was on special if you bought 2 packets. Put my glasses on and they were £1.38 each, or 2 for £3.
I only bought the one.

We only eat pork dripping with the meat jelly on bread . Beef dripping makes the best chips and roast potatoes in the world .

Lots of my family have lived into mid and late nineties with a couple of Queens birthday card recipients .

Any other drivel that you want shot down in flames ?

According to their website, the 500g packs are £1.38, and the 1kg packs are £1.84 or 2 for £3.00. Of course, the shelf edge labels could've been wrongly placed.

Must agree. I was a child of the thirties, brought up on bread and dripping. We do all our cooking in dripping. Can't beat it. I'm now eighty-one and fit as a fiddle.
It's been announced recently, by the way, that we have all been hood-winked by this low-fat, cholesterol nonsense, and we actually need fat for health. Low fat food is big business. We never touch it in our household.
