  • Looks to me like the supermarkets are trying to recoup, on the sly, some of the extra money they claim to be paying the dairy producers for milk.

    It seems like a real luxury now at the price it is.

    Oh, did a Tesco shop online earlier today, and kerrygold's on offer at 2 for £1.60;)

    According to "The Big T", their food has only gone 2% over the last year (part of their screech for a reduction in interest rates"... http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/retailing/article2996369.ece

    No, I don't think so either - unless you've switched from premium brands to 'value' (wonder what they'll compare with next year?).

    wading through the treacle of life!

    debt 2016 = £21,000. debt 2021 = £0!!!!
  • Is it my imagination or did that price tag of Tesco 'value' butter - which now reads '85p' - read only 58p a few weeks ago..?

    Have I been asleep for ten years or suchlike?

    I'm glad it's not just me that's noticed this specific one!!

    I always used to but the cheapo brand as I couldn't tell the difference anyway. A massive increase by any yardstick.

    As there is a fairly recent thread on the price of butter, I've merged both threads to keep all the replies together.

  • Butter is fairly pricy here in Spain, often about €1.80 but I've now found it in LIDL for just over €1, hope it doesn't go up here as well ...

    It has gone up here in France too, very recently! I used to be able to buy a pack for 0.89 euros, and now it is just over one euro - same as Spain.
